No, the paper wallet is not tied to your coinbase account in any way, shape, or form.
All you have done is generated a valid bitcoin address and put .01 BTC in it.
You could have done that without the use of coinbase at all, so you're safe.

No, nothing to worry about  Smiley

Coinbase account authentication has nothing to do with Bitcoin addresses/keys.

This is a real noob question. I printed .01BTC from Coinbase physical wallet as a wedding gift for my friend (no I'm not that cheap, I'm also sending him USD). I loaded it with .01BTC from my coinbase account.

I have the physical printed paper which has two QR codes on it. Public and private.

My point is, is there any way someone can get into my Coinbase account with only this printed physical piece of paper?  I'm 99.9% sure they can't, but I need someone to verify this before I send it to him as a gift.

Thanks.
