Trezor Bridge
Trezor Bridge is a communication layer that helps your computer and a Trezor hardware wallet communicate securely. It is primarily used when a browser-based Trezor interface needs to connect with the physical device.
For a current setup, users should obtain Trezor Bridge only from the official Trezor website and follow the installation instructions provided there. After installation, restart the browser or computer if prompted, then connect your Trezor device and open Trezor Suite.
How Trezor Bridge Works
When a Trezor device is connected to your computer, the browser needs a way to communicate with the hardware wallet. Trezor Bridge provides that connection between compatible browser applications and the Trezor device.
It is not a wallet, exchange, or login service. Your cryptocurrency assets are not stored in Trezor Bridge. Instead, it functions as supporting software that enables communication with the hardware device.
Installing Trezor Bridge
Before downloading anything, verify that you are visiting the genuine Trezor website. Avoid third-party download pages, advertisements, or websites that ask for your wallet backup or private keys.
After downloading the appropriate version of Trezor Bridge for your operating system:
Install the software.
Restart your browser if required.
Connect your Trezor device.
Open Trezor Suite or the supported Trezor interface.
Follow the on-screen instructions.
If your device is not detected, check that the USB connection is secure and that Trezor Bridge is installed correctly.
Trezor Bridge and Security
Trezor Bridge does not replace the security features of your hardware wallet. Never enter your recovery seed into a website, browser extension, email, or support chat. Your recovery seed should remain private and offline.
For official downloads, setup instructions, and troubleshooting, use Trezor's official documentation rather than unofficial websites.
