What you need to know (quick guide)
Trezor Bridge was created to make connecting your Trezor hardware wallet to desktop browsers and the Trezor Suite app quick and dependable. It functions as a small local service that accepts encrypted requests from your browser or desktop app and forwards them to the connected Trezor device. This eliminates the need for some older browser extensions and offers a smoother setup for end users.
Important note: Trezor has been evolving the way devices are integrated with Trezor Suite and modern browsers. Standalone Bridge installers have been deprecated in favor of more integrated flows in recent Trezor Suite releases; if you have an older standalone Bridge installed, follow official guidance for removal or migration to the current Trezor Suite experience before updating. Always download installers from the official Trezor website to avoid imposters.
Quick install & verification
- Download Trezor Suite from the official site and follow the bundled instructions for your OS.
- If an installer labeled "Trezor Bridge" is required, use only the official download link on Trezor's site.
- After installation, connect your Trezor device with the supplied USB cable and open Trezor Suite or the supported web app.
- Verify the device prompts and confirm any fingerprint/seed checks on the device screen itself — the device is the source of truth for confirmations.
Troubleshooting tips
- If your browser doesn't detect the device, confirm no other wallet helpers are blocking USB access and that your OS drivers are up to date.
- When in doubt, reinstall Trezor Suite (it will include any currently recommended helpers) and avoid third-party Bridge downloads.
- Always check the official Trezor guides and support pages for step-by-step instructions and OS-specific notes.
