Coinbase® Extension®
Create a new wallet
Once you’ve installed the extension, select Create a new wallet.
Click Create a new wallet and enter a username—this is how other Coinbase Wallet users can find you. Note that you will not be able to change your username.
Securely back up your 12-word recovery phrase.
Verify that you’ve saved your recovery phrase before moving onto the next step.
Create a password to access your wallet.
Once the above steps are complete, then you can use your Coinbase Wallet extension immediately.
Important: Coinbase cannot recover your 12-word recovery phrase for you. We recommend storing it in a secure location, such as a password manager or writing it down and keeping it somewhere secure. Your recovery phrase is what gives you—and only you—access to your wallet.
Once you’ve completed the above steps, learn how to add funds to your Coinbase Wallet extension.
