Getting Error 401--Unauthorized in Postman when using post method to make a to call external API

I am trying to get the response back from API using Postman native app in windows 10. I am in my company system which uses proxy, so i need to pass proxy credentials for every request which i send from my system. As per postman documentation, i set proxy settings but still getting 401: Unauthorized error.

Postman Proxy Settings

Other suggestion was to use Basic Authentication while sending a request. It doesn't help either:

Baisc Auth settings for Proxy in postman

I tried all the things in native app but it's not working. The workaround is to use Chrome extension for Postman. Please refer the steps below:

1.> Search for Postman Interceptor chrome extension

2.> Install the extension

3.> Launch postman extension

4.> Login using your google account Or register an account in postman.

5.> When you try to login, pop appear in which proxy userid and password needs to be entered.

6.> Once proxy settings has been updated, send the request. You should receive expected response back.

Happy coding :)
