Coinbase® Extension® - Getting Started: Wallet Extension

Optimize your cryptocurrency portfolio with Coinbase® Extension®. Instant access to balances, market trends, and easy trade execution.

As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, opening the Coinbase Wallet browser extension involves accessing it through your preferred web browser. Please note that the steps might have changed, and it's essential to refer to the latest information provided by Coinbase or consult their support if needed.

Here's a general guide on how you might open the Coinbase Wallet extension:

1. Launch Your Web Browser:

   • Open the web browser where you installed the Coinbase Wallet extension. Common browsers include Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or others.

2. Extension Icon:

   • Look for the Coinbase Wallet icon in the toolbar of your browser. The icon might look like the Coinbase logo or another symbol associated with the extension.

3. Click on the Extension Icon:

   • Click on the Coinbase Wallet extension icon in the toolbar. This action should open a popup or a new tab with the Coinbase Wallet interface.

4. Log In:

   • If you are not already logged in, you may be prompted to log in to your Coinbase account. Enter your credentials to access your wallet.
