FAQs

1. Is my private key stored on Coinbase servers?+
No. The extension stores private keys locally or in your chosen hardware device. Coinbase cannot access your private keys unless you explicitly export them.
2. Can I connect a hardware wallet?+
Yes — Ledger and other WebAuthn-compatible devices can be paired for signing high-value transactions.
3. What happens if I forget my password?+
The password protects local access — recovery relies on your seed phrase. If you lose both, access cannot be restored.
4. Does it support multiple networks?+
Yes. Ethereum, Layer-2s, and many EVM-compatible chains are supported with clear network switching in the UI.
5. How do I report a suspicious site?+
Use the built-in "Report" option in the extension menu; include the domain and transaction details for faster review.
