Coinbase Wallet Extension -| Login Guide For Chrome

A colourful, step-by-step presentation-style HTML guide designed for quick reference.
Use the headings, coloured blocks and horizontal rules to scan quickly.

Introduction

This guide shows how to install and log into the Coinbase Wallet Extension on Google Chrome. It is laid out as a colourful presentation so you can copy it into slides or open it as a single-page help document.
Follow each step carefully and keep your recovery phrase secure. This page uses vivid section backgrounds, coloured horizontal rules, and different heading formats to make the content easy to scan.

Note: This guide assumes you already have Google Chrome installed on your computer. If you do not, download Chrome from the official site before continuing.

Prerequisites

Google Chrome (latest stable version).
A secure place to write your recovery phrase (paper, password manager).
An existing Coinbase Wallet account or plan to create a new wallet within the extension.

Tip: If you're using a shared computer, log out and remove the extension after use.

Install the Coinbase Wallet Extension

Step 1 — Open Chrome Web Store
In Chrome, go to the Chrome Web Store and search for "Coinbase Wallet". Look for the official extension from Coinbase.

Step 2 — Verify publisher
Make sure the publisher is Coinbase and check the extension details (reviews, number of users, permissions).

Step 3 — Add to Chrome
Click Add to Chrome, then confirm. The extension will appear near the top-right of your browser as a small puzzle-piece or wallet icon.

Login Guide — Open the Extension

Click the Coinbase Wallet icon in your toolbar. A popup will appear with options to Connect, Create a new wallet, or Restore an existing wallet using a recovery phrase.

If you already have a wallet, choose Restore and enter your 12- or 24-word recovery phrase exactly.
If you're new, choose Create a new wallet and follow the on-screen prompts to set a secure password and backup your phrase.
For users with a Coinbase account, you may have the option to connect via your Coinbase credentials — follow the secure OAuth flow if available.

Security warning: Never share your recovery phrase. Coinbase staff will never ask for it.

Connecting dApps & Managing Accounts

Once logged in, you can connect the extension to decentralised apps (dApps) or view your account balance. Use the extension's settings to manage multiple wallets, network preferences (Ethereum, Polygon, etc.), and privacy options.

When connecting to a dApp, always verify the URL and permissions. Approve only what you expect — avoid blanket approvals for token transfers or contract interactions you don't understand.

Troubleshooting

Extension not visible: Click the puzzle-piece icon and pin the wallet extension to the toolbar.
Popup doesn’t open: Try disabling other extensions that might block popups, then restart Chrome.
Restore failed: Check your recovery phrase for typos; the phrase must be in the same word order and spelling as given originally.

If problems persist, visit Coinbase's official support pages. Do not use random forums for sensitive recovery details.

FAQ

Q: Can I use the same recovery phrase on multiple devices?
A: Yes, but be careful: if another device is compromised, your wallet can be drained.

Q: What happens if I lose my recovery phrase?
A: Without the recovery phrase you cannot regain access to the wallet. Keep it safe and offline.

Final Checklist

Confirm extension publisher is Coinbase.
Pin the extension for quick access.
Backup recovery phrase in a safe offline location.
Use a strong, unique password for the extension lock.
