Secure Connection Between Your Browser and :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1} Hardware Wallet
Trezor Bridge® is a background service that enables secure communication between your Trezor hardware wallet and supported web browsers. It replaces older browser extensions and ensures a stable, encrypted connection when accessing web-based wallet interfaces.
When using browser applications or web versions of wallet software, Trezor Bridge acts as a secure connector. It allows your browser to recognize your hardware wallet without exposing private keys or sensitive data.
Modern browsers limit direct USB device communication for security reasons. Trezor Bridge solves this by running locally on your computer and handling communication safely in the background.
All interactions between your browser and device are encrypted and verified, ensuring your private keys never leave the hardware wallet.
Once installed, Trezor Bridge automatically detects your connected device and enables seamless browser access.
The software runs quietly in the background and requires minimal system resources.
Installing Trezor Bridge is simple and takes only a few minutes:
After installation, your browser will automatically recognize your device when accessing supported web applications.
Trezor Bridge supports major operating systems including Windows, macOS, and Linux. It works with most modern browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, and Edge.
For users who prefer enhanced security, the desktop version of Trezor Suite may eliminate the need for browser-based communication entirely.
Always download Trezor Bridge from the official Trezor website. Never install software from third-party sources. Keep your firmware updated and verify transaction details on your hardware device before confirming.
Trezor will never request your recovery seed through any application. Protect your backup phrase at all times and store it securely offline.
If your browser does not detect your Trezor device:
Most connectivity issues can be resolved by reinstalling the software or updating to the latest version.
