Trezor Bridge – Secure Connection Between Trezor and Browser

Trezor Bridge is a lightweight program that runs in the background on your computer, enabling secure communication between your Trezor hardware wallet and supported browsers or Trezor Suite. Without Bridge, your browser cannot directly talk to the Trezor device.

What is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is a background service developed by SatoshiLabs. It ensures your Trezor hardware wallet can connect safely to applications like Trezor Suite or third-party wallet integrations. It replaces older browser plugins and provides a seamless, secure experience.

Why Do You Need It?

Browser Compatibility: Modern browsers like Chrome, Firefox, and Edge require Bridge for Trezor connectivity.
Secure Communication: Bridge ensures encrypted data transfer between your device and Trezor Suite or web apps.
Automatic Updates: Bridge updates in the background, keeping your connection reliable.
Cross-Platform: Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

How to Install Trezor Bridge

Go to the official Trezor Bridge download page.
Select your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux).
Download and install the setup file.
Restart your browser after installation.
Connect your Trezor device and open Trezor Suite — Bridge will run in the background automatically.

Common Issues & Fixes

Device not recognized: Ensure Bridge is running and try reconnecting your device.
Browser not detecting Trezor: Restart your browser after installing Bridge.
Multiple wallets open: Close other crypto wallet apps or tabs that may interfere.
Firewall issues: Allow Trezor Bridge in your system firewall or antivirus settings.

Important Security Notes

Trezor Bridge never asks for your recovery seed. If any website requests you to type your seed, it is a phishing attempt — only enter your recovery phrase directly on your Trezor device when restoring.
