Frequently Asked Questions

How do I install the official Coinbase® Chrome Extension?

Visit the Chrome Web Store and search for "Coinbase Wallet Extension." Only download from the official listing published by Coinbase®. After installation, pin the extension to your toolbar for easy access.

What's the difference between Coinbase Wallet and Extension?

The Coinbase® Wallet is a full-featured mobile app with complete self-custody, while the Extension provides browser-based access to basic Wallet functions and connects to your Coinbase® account.

Is my Coinbase® login the same for all platforms?

Yes, your Coinbase® login credentials work across Coinbase.com, Coinbase Pro, and the mobile app. However, the Wallet requires separate setup as it's a self-custody solution.

How secure is the Coinbase® Extension?

The extension employs bank-level security including optional 2FA and biometric authentication. It never stores your private keys (for Wallet functionality) and uses the same security protocols as Coinbase.com.

Why use Coinbase Pro instead of regular Coinbase?

Coinbase Pro offers significantly lower fees (up to 90% less), advanced trading tools, and better pricing for larger orders, making it ideal for active traders.

Can I use the Extension without a Coinbase account?

Yes, the Coinbase® Wallet Extension can be used as a standalone crypto wallet, though connecting it to your Coinbase® account enables additional features.
