Trezor Bridge Download — Trezor® Wallet, Login & Suite App

Everything you need to know to download and install Trezor Bridge, connect your Trezor® Wallet, and use Trezor Suite safely.

What is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is a lightweight background service that lets your Trezor® Wallet communicate with web-based tools and desktop applications like Trezor Suite. It handles USB communication between your computer and the device, allowing secure interactions without exposing your private keys.

Why you might need the Trezor Bridge download

If your browser or operating system cannot directly access the hardware device, installing Trezor Bridge ensures reliable connectivity. It is especially helpful for older browsers, legacy platforms, or when using desktop web apps that require a persistent bridge for USB communication.

Supported platforms

  • Windows (modern versions)
  • macOS
  • Linux distributions (common support for major distros)

How to install Trezor Bridge (step-by-step)

  1. Download the Trezor Bridge installer appropriate for your OS.
  2. Run the installer and follow on-screen instructions. Administrator privileges may be required on Windows/macOS.
  3. Restart your browser or system if prompted.
  4. Connect your Trezor® Wallet with the official USB cable when the installer finishes.
  5. Open Trezor Suite (desktop) or the supported browser page — your device should be detected automatically.
Note: When installing, always verify you downloaded the installer from an official or trusted source. Keep recovery seeds offline and never enter them into websites or apps.

Trezor Wallet login & Trezor Suite basics

Trezor Suite is the official desktop and web application that provides a unified interface for device setup, account management, sending/receiving crypto, and firmware updates. After Trezor Bridge is installed, use Trezor Suite to:

  • Initialize a new Trezor® Wallet or recover an existing one.
  • Manage multiple coin accounts and tokens.
  • Update device firmware securely.
  • Sign transactions locally on your device for increased security.

Troubleshooting common Trezor Bridge issues

If your device is not recognized, try the following:

  • Disconnect and reconnect the USB cable; try a different USB port or cable.
  • Restart your computer and relaunch the browser or Trezor Suite.
  • Ensure the Trezor Bridge service is running — on some OSes it appears as a background process.
  • Temporarily disable antivirus or USB security software that could block communication.
  • Reinstall the Trezor Bridge installer if the issue persists.

Security best practices

Security with a Trezor® Wallet depends on both hardware and user practices. Follow these tips:

  • Only download software from official Trezor channels or the vendor’s website.
  • Never share your recovery seed or enter it into a website. Keep it physically offline and secure.
  • Verify firmware update prompts on the device screen before accepting.
  • Use a dedicated computer or profile for crypto activity when possible.

Advanced: Trezor Bridge & browser behavior

Modern browsers sometimes provide native USB web-USB support, but compatibility varies. Trezor Bridge provides consistent behavior across browsers and avoids permission issues that can arise with direct web-USB approaches.

When to use Trezor Suite vs. web apps

Trezor Suite is recommended for core wallet management, firmware updates, and routine transactions. Web apps (dApps) are useful for DeFi, NFTs, and other interactions; ensure the dApp is reputable before connecting your Trezor® Wallet.

Final checklist before you begin

  • Have your recovery seed stored safely (offline).
  • Use the official Trezor USB cable and a trusted USB port.
  • Install the correct Trezor Bridge package for your OS.
  • Keep Trezor Suite and device firmware up to date for security fixes.
