How to Restore a Coinbase Wallet?

If you've lost access to your Coinbase Wallet, you can restore it using your 12-word recovery phrase or a cloud backup. Since Coinbase Wallet is a non-custodial (self-custody) wallet, only you hold the keys to your funds—Coinbase cannot recover your wallet for you .

Step 1: Download the Coinbase Wallet App

Install the latest version of the Coinbase Wallet mobile app from the official App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android) .

Step 2: Choose "Restore" Option

Open the app and select "I already have a wallet" on the welcome screen . You will then have two recovery options:

• Option A – Restore with Recovery Phrase: Select "Restore with recovery phrase" and carefully enter your 12-word seed phrase in the exact order it was given to you . This is the most reliable method.
• Option B – Restore with Cloud Backup: Select "Restore with cloud" and log in to your Google Drive or iCloud account. Enter the backup password you created when you set up the backup . Note that Coinbase cannot recover this password if you forget it .

Step 3: Set Up Security

After successful restoration, choose your preferred security method—biometric authentication (fingerprint or Face ID) or a new passcode .

Important Warning

If you have lost your 12-word recovery phrase and do not have a cloud backup, your funds cannot be recovered . Never share your recovery phrase with anyone; Coinbase will never ask for it .
