A friendly, copy-ready HTML guide with emoji, subtle animation, and an official link to verify downloads.
Official link included ✓

This guide covers how to install and use the Coinbase Extension, security best practices, and a clear disclaimer. Always navigate to the official Coinbase site before downloading any extension or entering sensitive information. 🚨

1

Download the Coinbase Wallet extension — official source

For desktop use, install the Coinbase Wallet browser extension from the browser store linked from the Coinbase official website. Avoid third-party links and double-check the extension publisher name. 🔎

2

Create or import your wallet

Open the extension, choose Create a new wallet or Import existing wallet. If importing, use your seed phrase only in the official extension UI — never paste it into random sites or chat apps. Treat your recovery phrase like cash. 🗝️

3

Set a secure password and enable additional protections

Choose a unique, strong password and consider using a password manager. On mobile, enable biometrics where available. Keep your browser and OS up to date to reduce attack surface. 🔐

4

Recognize and avoid phishing attempts

Phishing pages and fake extensions try to steal wallet access. Verify the URL, check extension permissions, and confirm the publisher. When in doubt, go directly to coinbase.com. Do not approve transactions you don't understand. ⚠️

5

Use hardware wallets and separate accounts for safety

For large balances, connect Coinbase Wallet to a hardware wallet where supported. Keep a separate, smaller 'hot' wallet for day-to-day dApp use and approvals — this limits exposure if the browser extension is compromised. 🛡️

Quick security checklist — before you login

  • Confirm the extension's publisher and reviews in the browser store.

  • Keep your device OS and browser updated and scan for malware regularly.
  • Use hardware wallets for cold storage and large holdings.
  • Create a separate, small balance wallet for dApp interactions and approvals. 🔁
