  Coinbase utilizes security keys as an extra layer of protection for user funds. These keys are cryptographic devices that generate unique codes for each transaction, making it extremely difficult for hackers to gain unauthorized access to user accounts. By requiring users to authenticate their transactions with these security keys, Coinbase ensures that only authorized individuals can access and transfer funds. This significantly reduces the risk of funds being stolen or compromised.

  Coinbase takes the security of user funds very seriously. They employ a multi-signature technology that requires multiple keys to authorize transactions. This means that even if one key is compromised, the funds remain secure as the hacker would need access to all the required keys. Additionally, Coinbase stores the majority of user funds in offline, cold storage wallets, which are not connected to the internet. This further minimizes the risk of funds being hacked or stolen.
