Coinbase® Extension | Official Crypto Wallet & Trading Platform

What is the Coinbase Wallet Extension?

The Coinbase Wallet Extension is a browser add-on that brings the power of the Coinbase Wallet app directly into your desktop browsing experience. With it, you can:

Connect to decentralized apps (dApps) and Web3 services with one click.
Store, send, and receive cryptocurrencies securely.
Manage NFTs and tokens without leaving your browser.
Enjoy seamless integration with the Coinbase Wallet mobile app.

The extension supports Chrome, Brave, Edge, and other Chromium-based browsers.

How to Install

Go to the official Chrome Web Store listing for Coinbase Wallet Extension.
Click Add to Chrome and confirm installation.
Pin the extension to your browser toolbar for quick access.

Tip

Only install from the official source to avoid phishing or fake wallets.

Creating or Importing a Wallet

Open the extension and choose Create New Wallet or Import Wallet.
For new wallets, securely back up your 12-word recovery phrase.
If importing, enter your recovery phrase only within the extension, never on a website.
Set a strong password for unlocking the extension locally.

Coinbase Wallet Extension Login

There is no “cloud login” like Coinbase Exchange. Instead, access works through:

Local password: Unlocks the extension on your computer.
Recovery phrase: Used only once for setup/restore, never for daily login.
Mobile sync: You can link the extension with the Coinbase Wallet mobile app via QR code.

Warning: If any website asks for your 12-word phrase, it is a scam. Only enter it inside the official Coinbase Wallet Extension.

What happens if I lose my computer?
You can reinstall the extension and restore with your 12-word phrase.
