02
Create or import a wallet
Open the extension and follow its prompts. A self-custody wallet is controlled by its recovery phrase—not by Coinbase Support.
03
Back up your recovery phrase safely
Write it down offline and store it somewhere private. Never share it, type it into a website, or save it in a screenshot.
Keep your wallet yours. Coinbase will never ask for your recovery phrase.
A QUICK SECURITY CHECK Your recovery phrase
Your recovery phrase
is the key.
Coinbase Wallet is self-custody. Your recovery phrase gives access to your wallet, so keep it private and somewhere only you can reach.
- Never share your recovery phrase with anyone.
- Coinbase Support will never ask you for it.
- Verify the website and extension before connecting.
HERE TO HELP
Good to know.
Quick answers before you take your first steps.
Is Coinbase Wallet the same as my Coinbase account?
No. Coinbase Wallet is a self-custody wallet. You control its recovery phrase and assets. It is separate from your Coinbase account, which is a custodial service.
What should I do if a site asks for my recovery phrase?
Do not enter it. A legitimate support agent or dapp will never need your recovery phrase. Close the page and visit the official Coinbase Wallet help center if you need assistance.
Where can I get the official extension?
Use the official Coinbase Wallet browser-extension page to find the correct store listing for your browser. Check the publisher and listing details before installing.
