First connect to Coinbase, go to the Settings page, then Security tab.
Here is the direct URL to this page: https://www.coinbase.com/settings/security_settings

There you'll find this section:595b46d95f8d06c71ccf5d56cc3eb1ff059f1d2c0e6cd31464a803240bd914d5.png

After a click on the "Select" button, read the popup content:

Read carefully the warnings before continuing this setup.

A click on the "I understand" button will ask for your current 2-step verification code (2FA):

After you confirm, Coinbase asks you to connect your Ledger:

Start the Fido U2F app on your Ledger (logo: id), approve the browser security popups and confirm the authentication on your Ledger.

When done, you should end up with the new popup:

Next time you want to login, after typing your email and password, Coinbase will ask you to connect your Ledger:
