Security & Best Practices

  • Only install the extension from the official Chrome Web Store listing.
  • Check the publisher name and reviews before installing.
  • Use strong unique passwords and enable two-factor authentication on your Coinbase account if you link accounts.
  • For large balances, consider pairing the extension with a hardware wallet (Ledger/Trezor) when supported.
  • Regularly audit connected sites and revoke access when no longer needed.
Tip: Bookmark the official Coinbase pages and avoid clicking download links in unsolicited messages—many phishing scams mimic store listings.

Troubleshooting

  • Extension not visible: Visit chrome://extensions to enable and pin the extension.
  • Extension crashed or unresponsive: Restart Chrome and make sure your browser is updated.
  • Missing balance or tokens: Ensure you are on the correct network/account and add custom tokens if needed.
  • Suspicious behavior: Remove the extension, run malware checks, and move funds to a new wallet if compromise is suspected.
