  One alternative to using a Coinbase API passphrase for secure authentication is to implement two-factor authentication (2FA). By enabling 2FA, you add an extra layer of security to your Coinbase account. This can be done by using an authentication app like Google Authenticator or receiving SMS codes. It is recommended to enable 2FA to enhance the security of your Coinbase API integration.

  Yes, there are alternatives to using a Coinbase API passphrase for secure authentication. Another option is to use API keys with restricted permissions. By creating API keys with limited access, you can reduce the risk of unauthorized access to your Coinbase account. It is important to carefully manage and secure your API keys, and only grant the necessary permissions for your integration.
