What is Exodus Wallet® Extension?

The Exodus Wallet® Extension is an easy-to-use browser or desktop add-on that brings Exodus’s portfolio, send/receive and swap features closer to your browser workflows. It pairs with the main Exodus app for full account management while keeping your private keys locally stored. Official resources: exodus.com and the support hub at support.exodus.com.

Key features

Logging in and account flow

Exodus Wallet® Extension uses local wallet logic: when you first install, you create a password and (if new) a recovery phrase. There is no remote “Exodus login” that stores your seed on a server. For official downloads and extension links use exodus.com/download.

Exodus Wallet® Exchange

The extension offers swap functionality via third-party providers. Before swapping, verify the provider and fees shown in the extension. Transaction confirmations happen on-chain and require you to approve via the extension interface.

Troubleshooting common issues

Unable to login / Extension not working: ensure you are using the official extension, update your browser and extension, clear the extension cache or reinstall from the official site. If the extension doesn't detect your wallet, open the full Exodus desktop app and confirm pairing.

Error connecting / Can't verify / Transaction declined: check network fees, provider status, and whether the blockchain is congested. Update the extension and desktop app; sometimes rebooting the browser or machine resolves connection hiccups.

Recovery & 2FA

Exodus Wallet® relies on a recovery phrase — store it offline and never share it. Exodus does not use centralized 2FA for your seed. If you enabled third-party 2FA for an exchange connected to Exodus, reset it through that exchange’s support channels. For official recovery steps see Exodus Support.

Top FAQs (user search intent)

1. Why won't my Exodus Wallet® Extension accept my password?
Passwords are local. Ensure Caps Lock is off, try any password variants you may have used, or restore the wallet using your 12/24-word recovery phrase if needed.
2. How do I recover my wallet if the extension is gone?
Install Exodus again and choose "Restore wallet" — enter your recovery phrase. Never enter words on unknown websites.
3. Can Exodus reset 2FA for me?
No — Exodus manages a local wallet. 2FA resets are handled by the third-party services where 2FA was enabled.
4. Why did my transaction show "declined" or fail?
Common causes: insufficient gas/fee, network congestion, or mismatch between provider and on-chain state. Retry with recommended fees or check provider status.
5. Is the extension safe to use?
Yes if downloaded from the official Exodus site or verified browser stores, and if your recovery phrase is kept offline and private.
6. Where can I get official help?
Start at support.exodus.com for articles and contact options.

Conclusion

Exodus Wallet® Extension is a convenient bridge between your browser and your noncustodial wallet. Most issues are solvable by using official downloads, keeping software updated, and protecting your recovery phrase. When unsure, consult the Exodus Support Center for step-by-step articles and official guidance.
