Common questions
Is this the official Coinbase Wallet website?＋
No. This is an independent getting-started guide, not an official Coinbase page or wallet. Use coinbase.com/wallet to reach Coinbase directly.
What is a recovery phrase?＋
It is a secret backup that can restore access to a self-custody wallet. Keep it offline in a secure place. Coinbase support, this guide, and other legitimate services will never need you to disclose it.
Can I use the extension on more than one browser?＋
Check the official Coinbase Wallet page for supported browsers and current installation instructions. Only use verified extension stores and check the publisher before installing.
