TREZOR BRIDGE — Easy Setup & User Guide

TREZOR BRIDGE is the lightweight background app that securely connects your Trezor hardware wallet with your computer. This guide walks you through installation, usage, and fixes for common problems in a professional yet simple way.

What is TREZOR BRIDGE?

TREZOR BRIDGE ensures communication between your browser or Trezor Suite desktop app and your hardware wallet. It replaces old browser plugins, provides a stable connection, and guarantees your keys never leave your device.

Installation Guide

Windows & macOS

Download the official installer, run it, and follow on-screen prompts. Bridge will launch automatically in the background after setup.

Linux

Install using the provided .deb or .rpm packages. Some distributions may require adding udev rules for hardware recognition.

Always download from the official website and verify checksums for maximum safety.

Using TREZOR BRIDGE

Once installed, Bridge runs silently. When you plug in your Trezor, the app (Trezor Suite or a supported browser wallet) connects automatically. Confirm actions directly on your hardware wallet for full security.

With Trezor Suite

Bridge integrates seamlessly. Plug in, unlock with PIN, and manage assets securely in seconds.

With Third-Party Wallets

Many services rely on TREZOR BRIDGE. Always check addresses on your device’s screen before confirming transactions.

Common Issues

Device Not Recognized

Check your USB cable, try a different port, or reinstall TREZOR BRIDGE. Ensure no old browser plugins are interfering.

Linux Permissions

Add correct udev rules and reboot your computer if the wallet is not detected.

FAQ

Do I need TREZOR BRIDGE with Trezor Suite desktop?

No — the desktop app has native support. Bridge is required mainly for browsers and some third-party wallets.

Is TREZOR BRIDGE safe?

Yes. It only relays communication locally and never stores or sends your private keys.
