Setup GuideEverything you need to know about Trezor Bridge
Trezor Bridge is a communication tool that enables your computer to interact with your Trezor hardware wallet through web browsers and applications like Trezor Suite. It's required because web browsers cannot directly communicate with USB devices for security reasons. Trezor Bridge acts as a secure intermediary, allowing Trezor Suite and the web version of Trezor Wallet to access your device while maintaining maximum security.
Visit the official Trezor Bridge download page at suite.trezor.io/web/bridge/ and select the version for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux). Download the installer, run it, and follow the setup instructions. The installation process is straightforward and typically takes less than a minute. After installation, restart your browser and you'll be able to connect your Trezor device.
Yes, Trezor Bridge is required for the desktop version of Trezor Suite to communicate with your Trezor hardware wallet. However, if you're using Trezor Suite web version, modern browsers with WebUSB support might not require Bridge, but installation is still recommended for the most reliable experience. The mobile version of Trezor Suite connects via Bluetooth (for Trezor Model T) and doesn't require Bridge.
Trezor Bridge is a background service that handles communication between your computer and Trezor device, while Trezor Suite is the main application interface where you manage your cryptocurrency, view your portfolio, make transactions, and access various features. Think of Bridge as the "plumbing" that enables communication, and Suite as the "control panel" where you interact with your crypto assets.
If you're experiencing connection problems: 1) Ensure Trezor Bridge is running (check system tray/menu bar), 2) Try reinstalling the latest version, 3) Restart your computer, 4) Try a different USB cable and port, 5) Check if your firewall or antivirus is blocking the connection, 6) Visit Trezor Support for specific troubleshooting guides. Most connection issues are resolved by reinstalling Bridge or using a different USB port.
