Trezor Bridge | Securé Your Crypto Connéction

Streamline connectivity and protect your assets with Trezor.io/start

What is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is an essential piece of software that connects your Trezor Hardware Wallet to your browser. It enables secure, local communication between your device and your web-based wallet interfaces like Trezor.io/start.

Bridge is especially useful when WebUSB is unsupported or restricted, such as on Firefox or older versions of operating systems. Without Trezor Bridge, your wallet might not be detected or may struggle to complete secure authentication like Trezor Login.

Why It Matters in Crypto Security

Crypto security depends on isolated, verifiable actions. Trezor Bridge ensures that no third-party applications can interfere with or spoof communication between your browser and your hardware wallet.

Who Should Use It?

If you're accessing Trezor Suite through the web, or your browser doesn't support direct USB communication, you should install Trezor Bridge from the official Trezor.io/start website.

Browser Compatibility

Bridge works best with Firefox, Safari, and other non-Chromium browsers, or when system policies block WebUSB.

How to Install Trezor Bridge

Step-by-Step Setup via Trezor.io/start

Follow this process to install the Bridge software safely:

1. Visit the Official Page

Go to Trezor.io/start. The page will detect your OS and suggest the appropriate Bridge installer.

2. Download & Install

Download the file and follow the on-screen instructions. On macOS, allow the installer in your Security & Privacy settings.

3. Restart Browser

Once installed, restart your browser to activate the service. You’ll notice your Trezor device is now fully recognized on Trezor.io/start.

Note: Trezor Suite Users

If you use the Trezor Suite desktop app, Bridge is optional. Suite manages device communication internally, removing the need for browser-level support.

Key Benefits of Using Trezor Bridge

Secure Trezor Login

Login to dApps or exchanges using your hardware wallet with Trezor Login — without typing passwords.

Fast & Reliable Communication

Bridge maintains a local connection, ensuring lightning-fast interaction without relying on cloud APIs.

Enhanced Privacy

No data is sent externally. All communication remains on your machine, making Bridge a privacy-respecting tool.

Designed for Long-Term Use
