What is the Coinbase Extension®?
The Coinbase Extension® is a browser extension that allows you to interact with decentralized applications (dApps), manage Ethereum-based assets, and securely access your Coinbase account directly from your browser. Always download the extension from the official Coinbase website or verified browser stores.
Installing the Extension
Visit the official link for your browser and click 'Add to Browser'. Once installed, open the extension and follow the onboarding instructions to link your Coinbase account. You may be prompted to verify your identity and enable two-factor authentication for enhanced security.
Getting Started Securely
After installation, connect the extension to your Coinbase account using secure login credentials. Review all dApp connection requests before approving, and use the extension’s built-in approval prompts to confirm transactions. Never share your seed phrase or private keys with websites or third-party apps.
Tips for Safe Usage
Use strong passwords, enable two-factor authentication, and only approve transactions you initiate. Regularly update the Coinbase Extension® to benefit from the latest security features and fixes.
Tip: Always verify the URL of dApps you connect with and avoid phishing links. The extension display acts as your single source of truth for approvals.
