Coinbase® Extension FAQ

1. Q: Can I use the same login for both extensions?
   A: No. The trading extension uses your Coinbase.com credentials. The Wallet Extension uses a separate password/recovery phrase.
2. Q: Why can’t I withdraw crypto via the Coinbase® trading extension?
   A: Withdrawals require full website access. Use Coinbase.com or the mobile app for transfers.
3. Q: Is my recovery phrase backed up by Coinbase®?
   A: Never. Your Wallet Extension recovery phrase is solely your responsibility. Coinbase® cannot recover it.
4. Q: How do I access Advanced Trade charts?
   A: Click "Advanced Trade" in the trading extension or visit pro.coinbase.com (redirects to Advanced Trade).
5. Q: Can I use these extensions on multiple devices?
   A: Yes, but:

• Trading extension: Requires login per device
• Wallet extension: Restore via recovery phrase

1. Q: What if I see a fake extension?
   A: Report immediately to [email protected]. Verify developer: "Coinbase, Inc." on Chrome Web Store.
