Coinbase Wallet Extension® — Getting Started | Coinbase®

Coinbase Wallet Extension Setting up a self-custody wallet is an important step in managing digital assets. Depending on the available product and your circumstances, you may be able to create a new wallet or restore an existing compatible wallet.

During setup, carefully review the wallet's backup and recovery procedures. If a recovery phrase is provided, record it using the recommended method and keep it somewhere secure and offline.

Your recovery phrase can provide access to the assets associated with your wallet. Anyone who obtains it may be able to control those assets, so never share it with another person or enter it into an unverified website.

A wallet password or device lock can help protect local access, but it does not replace the need to safeguard recovery credentials. Before depositing funds, make sure you understand how wallet recovery works and what options are available if you lose access to your browser or device.
