Trezor bridge

Trezor Bridge is a software tool that enables secure communication between Trezor hardware wallets and your web browser.

Trezor Bridge is a software tool that enables secure communication between Trezor hardware wallets and your web browser. It's particularly useful for users who want to interact with Trezor Wallet and other web-based wallet interfaces directly in their browser, as not all browsers can connect directly to USB devices.

Why Use Trezor Bridge?

• Enables Web-Based Connectivity: Trezor Bridge acts as a communication bridge for web-based wallet management. When using Trezor Suite, the app handles direct communication with your Trezor device, but Trezor Bridge is necessary for browser-based access (such as Trezor Wallet in Chrome or Firefox).

• Ensures Secure Connection: By acting as a mediator, Trezor Bridge provides a secure pathway for data transmission between the Trezor hardware wallet and the browser, protecting against unauthorized access.

How to Install Trezor Bridge

1. Visit Trezor’s Official Website:

   • Go to Trezor.io/Start and look for the Trezor Bridge download link to ensure it’s the official version.

2. Download the Appropriate Version:

   • Select the correct version of Trezor Bridge for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux).

   • Download the installer, then follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

3. Restart Your Browser:

   • Once Trezor Bridge is installed, restart your web browser to enable the bridge connection.

4. Connect Your Trezor Device:

   • Plug in your Trezor device. With Trezor Bridge installed, your browser should detect the Trezor wallet and allow you to interact with it securely.
