Trezor Bridge: Connect Your Trezor Device Securely
Trezor Bridge: Connect Your Trezor Device Securely
Trezor Bridge is software designed to help a computer communicate with a compatible Trezor hardware wallet. It can provide the connection layer required for supported Trezor wallet-management experiences, allowing users to interact with their hardware device through compatible applications.
A Trezor hardware wallet needs a secure way to communicate with compatible wallet software. Trezor Bridge helps establish this communication between the Trezor device and supported software running on your computer.
It operates in the background, allowing compatible wallet interfaces to recognize and communicate with the connected hardware wallet.
To use Trezor Bridge safely:
Visit the official Trezor website.
Locate the current Trezor Bridge download or setup instructions.
Select the version appropriate for your operating system.
Download the software only from an official Trezor source.
Install Trezor Bridge by following the provided instructions.
Connect your Trezor hardware wallet and open compatible Trezor software.
Trezor Bridge can help provide a reliable connection between your hardware wallet and supported desktop wallet interfaces. It is particularly useful when an application requires a communication layer between the computer and the connected Trezor device.
The software facilitates communication between your computer and compatible Trezor hardware.
Once installed, Trezor Bridge can run in the background and support compatible wallet applications when your device is connected.
Trezor Bridge does not replace the security provided by your hardware wallet. Sensitive wallet operations should still be confirmed directly on your Trezor device.
Always obtain Trezor Bridge from an authentic Trezor source. Avoid downloads from third-party websites, advertisements, unsolicited emails, or unknown links.
Never enter your recovery seed into Trezor Bridge or any website simply because you are prompted to do so. Your recovery seed should remain private and offline.
Before confirming a cryptocurrency transaction, carefully review the destination address and transaction details displayed on your Trezor hardware wallet.
If your computer or compatible wallet software does not recognize your Trezor device, check that:
Trezor Bridge is installed correctly.
Your USB connection and cable are working properly.
Your Trezor device is connected and unlocked as required.
You are using compatible, up-to-date official software.
No unofficial wallet application is interfering with the connection.
If problems continue, use Trezor's official support and troubleshooting resources rather than downloading software from an unknown source.
Trezor Bridge can make communication between a Trezor hardware wallet and compatible computer software more convenient. For the safest experience, download it only from an official Trezor source, keep your recovery information private, and verify important actions directly on your hardware wallet.
Security reminder: Trezor will never need your recovery seed simply to connect your hardware wallet to your computer.
