Coinbase® Extension®

Stay connected to your Coinbase account on the web. Monitor prices, execute trades, and manage your portfolio.

Using the Coinbase Wallet extension is relatively straightforward. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you get started:

  1. Install the Extension: First, you'll need to install the Coinbase Wallet extension in your preferred web browser. You can find the extension in the Chrome Web Store or your browser's extension marketplace. Simply search for "Coinbase Wallet" and follow the instructions to install it.

  2. Log in or Sign Up: Once the extension is installed, click on the Coinbase Wallet icon in your browser toolbar to open it. If you already have a Coinbase account, you can log in using your existing credentials. If not, you'll need to sign up for a new account.

  3. Access Your Wallet: After logging in, you'll have access to your Coinbase wallet directly within the extension. Here, you can view your cryptocurrency balances, send and receive funds, and manage your portfolio.

  4. Secure Your Wallet: It's essential to take steps to secure your wallet. Set up a strong password and consider enabling additional security measures such as two-factor authentication (2FA) for added protection.

  5. Explore Features: Spend some time familiarizing yourself with the features and functionalities of the Coinbase Wallet extension. You can use it to monitor cryptocurrency prices, execute trades, and access decentralized applications (DApps) directly from your browser.

  6. Backup Your Wallet: As a precaution, it's recommended to backup your wallet's recovery phrase. This phrase serves as a backup in case you ever lose access to your wallet. Navigate to the settings or security section of the extension to generate and record your recovery phrase in a safe and secure location.

  7. Stay Informed: Keep an eye on updates and new features added to the Coinbase Wallet extension. Regularly check for updates to ensure you're benefiting from the latest improvements and security enhancements.

By following these steps, you can effectively use the Coinbase Wallet extension to manage your cryptocurrency holdings securely and conveniently directly from your web browser.
