What Is Trezor Bridge?
Trezor Bridge is the lightweight software that lets your Trezor hardware wallet communicate with your computer and browser. Acting as a secure "middle‑man," it enables encrypted interactions with Trezor Suite or third‑party web wallets, eliminating old browser extensions .
Why You Need It
-
Enhanced security: Keeps private keys offline while data is encrypted via Bridge
-
Cross‑browser compatibility: Supports Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave, and more.
-
Automatic updates: Bridge auto‑updates in the background so you're always up to date.
Installation Made Simple
-
Visit trezor.io/start
-
Download the Bridge installer (Windows, macOS, or Linux)
-
Run the installer and restart your browser
-
Plug in your Trezor – Bridge will launch automatically
Logging In and Out
-
To log in: connect your Trezor, open Trezor Suite or a supported website, and enter your PIN (and passphrase if used)
-
Common issue: some users report needing to reload Bridge before it works:
“Every time I go to log in … the only way … is if I reload the bridge”
-
To log out: simply unplug your Trezor – Bridge saves nothing after disconnection.
Quick Troubleshooting
-
Disable ad‑blockers or VPNs that may block localhost
-
Ensure only one instance of Bridge is running to prevent port conflicts
