OData error message a web api key can only be specified when a web api key name is provided

hey All - I saw a couple of threads on this but nothing worked for me - I have my bearer token in the key field, I tried the other options as well - nothing working - I'm green on "APIKeys.." so any correctional direction on what I'm going wrong here much appreciated

Still it's not working. I have mentioned API key in Basic username. Now it showing error "we couldn't authenticate with credentials provided. Please try again.

 

Now what is the solution.
