Not able to Authenticate using OAuth2 for Twitter from Postman

I am trying to send the Single Tweet GET request from Twitter API v2 collection. I used the OAuth2 Authorization Type. When I click on Get New Access Token, after providing the Configuration Options I get the following window:

Something went wrong

But when I click on Back, I am logged in to my Twitter account.

Meanwhile, my Get New Access Token window is still waiting to receive a response:

Waiting for authentication

Has anybody encountered this before?

I've tried using Bearer Token instead and it works without a problem.

I also tried logging out and logging back in from the Twitter login but still did not authenticate successfully.

I had the same issue up until I moved my app from "STANDALONE APPS" to a project. See removing app from project warning. Make sure the app you are trying to use is in a project. The solution is to "Move this App into a Project so that it can access v2 endpoints and OAuth 2.0". See solution suggestion. If the app you are trying to use is not in a project but is a standalone app, it won't be able to access OAuth 2.0. Standalone Apps will fail when trying to make requests to the Twitter API v2 endpoints or use OAuth 2.0 unless you connect them to a Project.

My problem was that my callback URI (ie. example.com) didn't match exactly with the callback URI I provided (ie. https://example.com)

My Problem is solved Now, This issue was caused Because I have not added the Callback URL in the postman that I have added in the Twitter developer account project.

And Second main reason for that because I did not add the accurate scopes tweet.

For me, it's because I used localhost in my callback URL.

Don’t use localhost as a callback URL Instead of using localhost, please use a custom host locally or http(s)://127.0.0.1
