Hey so I am trying to authenticate with passport, I am using this package: [https://www.npmjs.com/package/passport-twitch.js](https://www.npmjs.com/package/passport-twitch.js)

I have tried other packages as well but I always get the same error message: InternalOAuthError: Failed to obtain access token

What am I doing wrong with my strategy?

```
passport.use(
    new TwitchStrategy({
        clientID: keys.twitchClientID,
        clientSecrect: keys.twitchClientSecrect,
        // callbackURL:'/auth/twitch/callback',
        callbackURL:'http://127.0.0.1:5000/auth/twitch/callback',
        scope: "user:read:email analytics:read:games",
        proxy: true
    }, (accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) => {
        console.log(accessToken);
        console.log(profile);
    })
```

`clientSecrect` should be `clientSecret` (and see if you have a typo in the `keys.twitchClientSecrect` as well)

Sometimes you just need another pair of eyes.
