Im confused with new CB smart wallet. Just imagine a newbie.

what's the thing you find most confusing/strange about it?

1. How do I connect my already existing wallet?
2. Why can’t I just use my old wallet?
3. Why do I have to create new passkeys?

These are some of the emotions I felt.

These are issues for existing Coinbase wallet users. I’ve asked them about this. They have some work to do. 

This isn’t an issue for newbies though who don’t have an existing wallet.

Good catch a newbie would just adopt at zero never knowing otherwise. 

The other argument I think I was going towards was the intimidation factor of “WTF is this?” Which is often more prevalent in noobs.

Once people use passkeys more and including for non-crypto stuff, it will become obvious

And I agree with Chris it's hard to know which passkeys you've created for what and which profile/address/account is on the other side

Just from testing I got 2 passkeys coinbase wallets and had no idea which is the latest one even lol
