What is Trezor® Bridge?

Trezor® Bridge is a lightweight, native helper application that enables secure USB communication between your computer and your Trezor® Hardware Wallet. It bridges browser or desktop apps (like Trezor® Suite) with the device, ensuring commands and transaction signatures travel securely to the hardware wallet and back.

Important: Always download Trezor® Bridge and Trezor® Suite from the official start page (trezor.io/start) to avoid malicious impostors.

Download & Installation (Quick Steps)

  1. Open your browser and go to trezor.io/start.
  2. Select your Trezor® model (Model One or Model T) and OS (Windows, macOS, Linux).
  3. Click Trezor® Bridge Download — save and run the installer.
  4. Install Trezor® Suite (desktop) if you prefer a native app, or use the web Suite after Bridge is running.
  5. Restart your browser or app, connect your Trezor® device with a data-capable USB cable, and follow on-screen prompts to login.

Using Trezor® Bridge with Trezor® Suite

After installing Bridge, open Trezor® Suite, connect your device, and complete the Trezor® Wallet Login using your PIN/passphrase. The Suite will prompt for firmware updates, device setup, or recovery as needed.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

  • Trezor® login not working: Verify Bridge is installed and running; try a different USB port or cable.
  • Unable to login Trezor®: Ensure no VPN or browser extension blocks USB access; temporarily disable security tools to test.
  • Error connecting Trezor® account: Reinstall Bridge, update Suite, and reboot the computer before retrying.
  • Can't verify Trezor® Wallet or Suite App not working: Update device firmware through Suite, or use the desktop Suite instead of the browser version.

Account Recovery & 2FA Guidance

Recovery is done with your recovery seed (12/18/24 words) using the “Recover wallet” flow in Trezor® Suite. Trezor® itself doesn't manage third-party 2FA — if you lost 2FA access to an exchange or service, use their recovery options or backup codes. Never enter your recovery seed into a computer or web form unless explicitly asked and only when using the official Suite recovery flow.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Where can I download Trezor® Bridge?
From the official start page: trezor.io/start. Choose your OS and follow instructions.
2. Why isn't my Trezor® detected after installing Bridge?
Try a different USB cable/port, reinstall Bridge, disable interfering extensions, or use the desktop Suite.
3. My Trezor® login is not working — what should I try first?
Confirm Bridge is running, check the cable, ensure firmware is up-to-date, and reboot the machine.
4. How do I recover access if I lose my device?
Use your recovery seed in the “Recover wallet” workflow in Trezor® Suite or on a new Trezor® device.
