Coinbase Wallet is a popular self-custody wallet separate from the Coinbase exchange. Understanding its security model is essential before storing significant assets.
Security Features
Coinbase Wallet uses local encryption with a user-defined password and generates a 12-word recovery phrase. Unlike the Coinbase exchange, Coinbase cannot reset your wallet password — recovery requires your seed phrase or professional offline password cracking.
Recovery Options
- Seed phrase available — Re-import into Coinbase Wallet or any compatible wallet
- Password forgotten, vault available — Professional recovery with 99.7% success rate
- Lost both — Recovery is extremely difficult without encrypted backup data
