🧩 What Is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is a background application that allows your browser to detect and communicate with your Trezor hardware wallet. It acts as a secure link between web-based interfaces (like Trezor Suite Web or third-party dApps) and your physical Trezor device.

Unlike browser extensions that are often limited by security constraints, Trezor Bridge provides direct, encrypted communication with your device. It's fast, reliable, and works on all major operating systems.

⚙️ How Does Trezor Bridge Work?

Once installed, Trezor Bridge runs in the background and automatically connects with supported web apps such as:

When you plug in your Trezor device, Bridge ensures your browser can read data, sign transactions, and confirm wallet access — without compromising your private keys.

All transactions are approved on the device, ensuring you're always in control.

🖥️ How to Install Trezor Bridge

Installing Trezor Bridge is quick and easy. Just follow these steps:

✅ Step-by-Step Installation

  2. Download the installer for your OS (Windows, macOS, Linux)
  3. Run the installer and follow on-screen instructions
  4. Restart your browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave, etc.)
  5. Connect your Trezor Model One or Trezor Model T

Once installed, your browser will automatically detect your device when visiting Trezor.io/start or using Trezor Suite Web.

🔐 Why Trezor Bridge Is Important for Your Wallet Login

If you're accessing your wallet via browser (rather than using the Trezor Suite App), Bridge is essential. Without it, your browser cannot recognize or communicate with your device, resulting in errors like:

  • “No device detected”
  • “Waiting for device connection”
  • “Bridge not installed or running”

Trezor Wallet Login and signing transactions through the browser require Trezor Bridge for a smooth experience.
