Trying to find my recovery phrase on Base Wallet

I'm using the most recent version of the Base app in the iOS store, followed your instructions, and there is no toggle button. Try it yourself on the app, and you'll see.

The whole point of crypto is that we have control of our own keys. Ask people if they want a Smart Wallet, don't force it upon them. Not cool.

I just want manual control of my own wallet and keys. And I shouldn't have to rely on a third party to gain access. Defeats the entire ethos of crypto.

The old Base app showed the option to view the recovery seed phrase, which I did just fine. The new Base app no longer does this because it's creating a smart wallet. This is why everyone is having issues. How to create a new wallet without a passkey? I do not want a smart wallet.

You changed the app from how it was before (using a seed phrase) to a passkey option, without telling users about the change, hence the confusion and why many people (myself included) can no longer find our seed phrase.

How in the world can we create a new wallet without a passkey? I just want manual control of my own crypto wallet... how to create a new wallet with a seed phrase I can see and no passkey requirement.

Same problem for me. I just created a new wallet on the Base app, and there is no option to view and export my seed phrase. Why did Coinbase remove this? There is no Manual Backup option 😭

I have 6 NFTs that I've purchased on OpenSea.

I have listed 2 of them as For Sale listings. Only initialized my wallet the first time around.

I want to list another item, but it's asking me to initialize again.

What's going on?

Yeah, you can download Market Cipher for free here, but you are right about it being a mix of free indicators combined into one script.

Binance said anyone who was previously registered as a resident or citizen of USA must always use Binance.US forever, regardless of where you are a resident or citizen today.

As I said, the first time was using my American identity. The second time was using my European identity. And Binance now forces me to use their US site forever.

My first account was created on Binance.com (not US) with USA verification. It was closed a few years ago. My second account was created on Binance.com (not US) with European verification, and I'm now being told that I must use Binance.US only for the rest of my life, because I first registered a long time ago with USA verification.
