Trezor Bridge — Connect Your Trezor Device With Confidence
Trezor Bridge is connection software intended to help compatible Trezor hardware wallets communicate with supported applications on a computer. It operates in the background as a communication layer, allowing compatible wallet software to recognize and interact with a connected Trezor device.
For users who have just purchased a hardware wallet, understanding connectivity is an important part of the setup process. The Trezor.io/start resource can be used as a starting point for learning about official device setup and related requirements.
A hardware wallet is a physical device designed to protect sensitive wallet credentials while allowing users to interact with supported digital-asset applications. When the device is connected to a computer, appropriate communication software may be required for the application to detect it.
Trezor Bridge can facilitate this communication for supported environments. The connected application can request an operation, while the hardware wallet can require the user to physically review and approve important actions.
This separation between the computer interface and physical device is an important part of hardware-wallet workflows.
Before installing any wallet-related software, confirm that you are obtaining it from an official and trusted source. Avoid downloading connection tools from unknown websites, file-sharing platforms, or unsolicited links.
If you're setting up a Trezor device for the first time, review Trezor.io/start and follow the instructions relevant to your device and operating system.
After installation, restart the required application if necessary and connect your Trezor hardware using a compatible cable.
If your computer does not recognize the connected device, begin with basic checks. Confirm that the cable is properly connected and try another compatible USB port if available.
You can also close and reopen the wallet application and make sure the required software is current. Check official troubleshooting resources before making system changes.
Avoid installing third-party "wallet repair" utilities or giving remote access to someone who claims they can fix your device. Unexpected requests for sensitive information should always be treated cautiously.
Trezor Bridge is designed for device communication; it should not be a reason to disclose your recovery phrase.
Your recovery information should remain private and offline. Never type it into an unfamiliar website or send it to someone through email, chat, social media, or another online channel.
Be especially careful when a person claims that a recovery phrase is required to connect, synchronize, unlock, or verify a hardware wallet.
Users may encounter Trezor Suite while working with compatible Trezor hardware. The software provides an interface for interacting with supported wallet features, while connection components can help establish communication between the computer and physical device.
Understanding the role of each component can make setup and troubleshooting easier.
For information about accessing supported Trezor services, read our Trezor Login guide. Users interested in hardware-based authentication can also explore Trezor Hardware Login.
Even when your device connects successfully, security checks remain important. Before approving a transaction, compare the recipient address, amount, and other relevant details shown on the physical Trezor device with your intended transaction.
If anything appears incorrect, cancel the operation and investigate before proceeding.
Never approve an unfamiliar request simply because the computer application says that it is required.
Trezor Bridge can help create the communication path between compatible Trezor hardware and supported computer applications. Safe usage involves more than installing connection software: users should obtain software from trusted sources, protect their recovery information, verify transactions on the physical device, and remain alert to phishing attempts.
