How to send/extract JWT token in nodejs with passport-jwt?

I've tried to check if they're online examples of how to use JWT extractors to get the token from the request but I failed to understand how to send the token with the request after the user logins.

When I use Postman, there's a tab called Authorization where I can choose the type Bearer Token which enabled me to add the token with the Authorization and the request http://localhost:5000/profile went successfully.

However, the browser stills showing me only Unauthorized when I try to access the profile http://localhost:5000/profile after successful login.

I've followed the passpot-jwt documentation configuration:

  passport.use(    new JWTStrategy(      {        jwtFromRequest: ExtractJWT.fromAuthHeaderAsBearerToken(),        secretOrKey: "mysecret",      },      function (jwtPayload, done) {        return User.findOne({ username: jwtPayload.username })          .then((user) => {            return done(null, user);          })          .catch((err) => {            return done(err);          });      }    )  );  

And my login route looks like :

Router.post("/", (req, res, next) => {    passport.authenticate("local", { session: false }, (err, user, info) => {      if (err) return next(err);      if (!user) {        return res.redirect("/login?info=" + info);      }      req.logIn(user, { session: false }, (err) => {        if (err) return next(err);        const token = jwt.sign({ username: user.username }, "mysecret");        res.json({ user, token: `Bearer ${token}` });      });    })(req, res, next);  });
