Create a password to access your wallet. Keep this safe, as you'll need it to access your wallet regularly. Remember, Coinbase cannot recover your password for you!

Claim your free web3 username. This is how other Coinbase Wallet users can find you and send you crypto. If you skip this step, we'll automatically generate a username for you.
