Is it safe to use the 12 word seed phrase from Coinbase Wallet...for MetaMask? I heard its not safe. When I tried it...it showed my coinbase balance. For MetaMask do you only need to use a MetaMask created wallet for existing user? Thank you.

The linked article appears to be specific to the Beam wallet, not necessarily the Coinbase wallet or Metamask. Nov 22, 2021 at 2:16
