Trezor Bridge® — The Secure Link Between Your Trezor and the Web
Trezor Bridge® is the official communication tool developed by Trezor to allow your hardware wallet to connect securely with web browsers and compatible applications. Acting as a smooth and reliable communication layer, Trezor Bridge ensures your Trezor Model One or Model T can interact with websites, wallets, and services without exposing sensitive data. Whether you’re using Trezor Suite Web or other supported platforms, Bridge enables encrypted, stable, and secure device recognition—making safe crypto management effortless.
1. What Is Trezor Bridge®?
Trezor Bridge® is a lightweight background service that runs on your computer and allows web browsers to detect and communicate with your Trezor device. It replaces older browser extensions and outdated plugins by offering a modern, secure, and universal method of connection.
With Bridge installed, your browser can seamlessly:
Detect your Trezor wallet
Communicate with Trezor Suite Web
Send and receive transaction data for signing
Interact with third-party wallet services
Perform firmware checks and updates
The goal is simple: make hardware-level security compatible with web-based tools without compromising protection.
2. Why You Need Trezor Bridge
Without Trezor Bridge installed, your browser cannot “see” your Trezor hardware wallet. Bridge establishes an encrypted, local communication channel that allows applications to safely request operations from your device.
Benefits include:
• Secure Communication
All communication between the browser and the Trezor device is encrypted and validated locally. Your recovery seed and private keys never leave the Trezor hardware wallet.
• Cross-Browser Compatibility
Works on major browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Brave, and Edge.
• Consistent Performance
Bridge remains stable across operating systems and avoids issues often seen with browser extensions.
• Automatic Device Detection
As soon as you plug in your Trezor, Bridge recognizes it and integrates it with supported apps.
3. How to Install Trezor Bridge®
Installation is straightforward:
Download Trezor Bridge from the official Trezor website.
Select your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux).
Install the software and follow the on-screen prompts.
Restart your browser after installation.
Plug in your Trezor device via USB.
Once complete, Bridge starts running automatically in the background. You don’t need to manually open it or configure anything. When a browser or app needs access, the Bridge handles communication securely.
4. Using Trezor Bridge with Trezor Suite Web
When you access Trezor Suite Web, Bridge becomes the essential connector. It allows Suite Web to:
Detect your device immediately
Load your accounts securely
Send transaction data to your Trezor
Display real-time balance information
Enable signing for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other networks
Each action requiring approval must be verified directly on your Trezor device, ensuring no unauthorized transaction can occur.
5. Troubleshooting Trezor Bridge
If your browser or app isn’t detecting your Trezor, try these steps:
Ensure Bridge is installed and running
Restart the browser
Try a different USB cable or port
Update your Trezor device firmware
Disable temporary browser extensions that may interfere
Check firewall or antivirus settings that might block local connections
Reinstalling Bridge often fixes persistent detection issues.
6. Security Best Practices
To stay secure while using Trezor Bridge®:
Download software only from the official Trezor website
Keep your device firmware up-to-date
Never share your recovery seed
Avoid approving transactions you don’t recognize
Use trusted browsers on clean, malware-free computers
Bridge itself never accesses or stores private keys—your Trezor hardware wallet handles all sensitive operations.

Trezor Bridge® — Connect Your Trezor to Web Browsers is an essential tool that ensures secure, reliable communication between your hardware wallet and browser-based crypto applications. By providing encrypted connections, seamless device detection, and cross-platform support, Bridge enhances your Trezor experience while maintaining the highest standards of security.
