Trezor Bridge — Connect Your Trezor Wallet Securely

Trezor Bridge is the lightweight connector that lets your computer and browser talk safely to your Trezor hardware wallet. Instead of brittle extensions, Bridge creates a stable local channel so you can verify every sensitive action on the device screen—while your private keys remain offline and under your control. This landing page walks through what Bridge is, why it matters, how to install it cleanly, and the simple habits that keep every session smooth.

Why Bridge

Purpose-Built Connectivity for Your Hardware Wallet

Direct USB Communication

Bridge talks to your Trezor over USB and exposes a local interface for approved apps. That means reliable detection and fewer browser quirks.

Keys Stay Offline

Private keys never leave the Trezor. Bridge relays messages; confirmations happen on the device screen you physically control.

Desktop & Web Friendly

Use Bridge with the desktop app or supported web experiences. Your security model doesn’t change—only your convenience improves.

Lightweight & Quiet

Runs as a tiny background service. It’s ready when you need it and invisible when you don’t.

Transparent Updates

Install once and update intentionally. New releases improve compatibility without demanding new trust assumptions.

Human-Readable Flows

Clear prompts, fee controls, and address previews in your app—matched by on-device confirmations—make mistakes easier to catch.

Local host interface USB reliability On-device approvals Works with Suite Low resource usage Simple updates

What You Gain with Trezor Bridge

Confidence in Every Click

Bridge keeps confirmations anchored to the hardware device. If the screen on your computer ever disagrees with the device, you can refuse safely.

Better Reliability Than Extensions

Browser releases can break extensions unexpectedly. Bridge operates system-wide, so apps discover your device consistently.

Clean Separation of Secrets

PIN entry and optional passphrase happen through the device. Your seed stays offline—no copy-paste risks, no keyboard loggers to worry about.

Future-Proof Setup

As features ship in apps and firmware, Bridge provides a stable conduit without altering the underlying trust model.

Reminder: No legitimate support will ever ask for your 12/24-word recovery seed or passphrase. If a site or “agent” requests them, close the page—it’s a scam.
