Trezor Bridge is a lightweight background service that allows your computer to communicate securely with your Trezor hardware wallet. It acts as a trusted link between the Trezor device and the Trezor Suite app, ensuring that every action you take — from logging in to signing transactions — remains private and fully authenticated.
What is Trezor Bridge?
Trezor Bridge replaces older browser plug-ins and ensures smooth, secure communication between your Trezor hardware wallet and supported applications. It’s essential for running Trezor Suite on your desktop or web browser, providing a secure and stable connection without needing browser extensions.
Key Benefits
- Secure Communication: Keeps your transactions private and fully encrypted.
- Seamless Compatibility: Works across Windows, macOS, and Linux systems.
- Automatic Detection: Recognizes your Trezor device instantly when connected.
- Lightweight & Reliable: Runs silently in the background for continuous protection.
How to Install Trezor Bridge
1. Visit the official Trezor Bridge download page at trezor.io/bridge.
2. Choose the correct version for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux).
3. Download and install the package.
4. Once installed, reconnect your Trezor device.
5. Open Trezor Suite to begin secure access to your crypto wallet.
Troubleshooting Connectivity
If your device isn’t detected after installing Trezor Bridge, restart your computer and reconnect the device using a different USB port. Make sure that no security software or browser extension is blocking communication. Visit the Trezor Support Center for detailed solutions.
Stay Safe & Updated
Always keep your Trezor Bridge up to date to benefit from the latest performance improvements and security patches. Updates can be downloaded directly from the official Trezor site. Avoid third-party downloads to protect against tampered software or phishing attempts.
Why You Need Trezor Bridge
Without Trezor Bridge, your computer and browser cannot communicate with your Trezor hardware wallet. Bridge ensures that your wallet works seamlessly while maintaining the hardware-level security that Trezor is known for. It’s a small but critical component of your overall crypto safety setup.
Verified Connection to Trezor Suite
Once Trezor Bridge is installed, open Trezor Suite or your preferred compatible app. Your Trezor device will automatically connect and be ready for secure operations like wallet access, transaction signing, or account management — all verified directly on your device screen.
Security at Every Step
Trezor Bridge never accesses or stores private data. It simply facilitates secure, end-to-end encrypted communication between your device and Suite. Every transaction must still be confirmed physically on your Trezor device, ensuring you’re always in control.
