coinbase wallet extension | Chrome Web Store

All done! Your Coinbase Wallet extension has been set up Most Ethereum wallets have a 12 word recovery phrase, which act as the key to your wallet. These words must be kept safe. No wallet provider

Recovery phrases are portable, enabling you to transfer your wallet from one self-custody wallet provider to another. With Coinbase Wallet, you can import any Ethereum-based wallet that you may have created with another provider such as MetaMask, Trust Wallet, and others. You can even import your Coinbase Wallet from your mobile device so you can use it in the browser extension as well.

When you import an existing wallet using your recovery phrase into Coinbase Wallet extension, there is no impact on your existing wallet. You will be able to continue using your existing wallet across multiple providers, and any transactions you make will show up in your wallet across all of your wallet providers.

While the recovery phrase is portable, the password that you set for your wallet is provider-specific and will not be ported over to another provider. Like recovery phrases, passwords cannot be recovered by any wallet provider, including Coinbase Wallet.
