Lesson Learned re Coinbase Wallet vs. Vault

Coinbase lesson regarding moving BTC from "My Wallet" to "My Vault". I'd like to share as it may help others avoid the same experience. 

Background

Recently I moved a small amount of BTC from "My Wallet" to "My Vault". As I understand it the vault is like another wallet so you can separate out some crypto coins for purposes of organizing or for whatever purpose you choose. I did that and then wanted to send BTC to an exchange outside of Coinbase. 

Challenge

In so doing I realized you can not send from the Vault but rather must send from a wallet. So I began to initiate the process of transferring from the vault to the wallet. The request was initiated and every time I went back to check the status it said pending approval. At first, I thought that meant pending approval within Coinbase. As a result of time, and doing some homework on Coinbase Support site, I discovered that the pending transaction was waiting on my approval. 

Solution

As a built in security measure in order to complete this type of transfer (from vault to wallet) the owner/account holder has to receive and respond to not one but two emails - primary and secondary. As soon as I completed this small and easy action it moved along very quickly and without any issues.

This is in the category of what I call you learn something new every day. In the crypto world, I think it is more like you learn something new every hour of every day.

I hope this is a small help to someone facing the same issue.
