    • Click on the icon to open the extension.

  6. Create a New Wallet or Restore:

    • If you're a new user, you may be prompted to create a new wallet. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up a new wallet, including creating a secure password and backing up your recovery phrase.

    • If you already have a Coinbase Wallet, you may have the option to restore it using your recovery phrase.

  9. Connect with Coinbase Account (Optional):

    • Some Coinbase Wallet extensions may offer the option to connect with your Coinbase.com account. Follow the instructions to connect your wallet to your Coinbase account if desired.

  10. Test Transactions:

    • Consider making a small test transaction to ensure that you understand the process and that your wallet is functioning correctly.
