Trezor Bridge® is a lightweight background application that enables secure communication between your Trezor hardware wallet and web browser, ensuring your private keys never leave your device.
Trezor Bridge® maintains the highest security standards while facilitating communication.
Works silently in the background without interrupting your workflow.
Works with all major browsers and Trezor devices.
Understanding the critical role of Trezor Bridge® in your security setup
Modern web browsers have security restrictions that prevent direct USB communication. Trezor Bridge® acts as a secure intermediary that bypasses these limitations while maintaining security.
All data transmitted between your Trezor device and the web interface is encrypted end-to-end, ensuring that even if intercepted, it remains unreadable to attackers.
Trezor Bridge® automatically updates to the latest version, ensuring you always have the most secure and compatible communication layer without manual intervention.
Follow these steps to install and configure Trezor Bridge®

Security Tip: Always download from the official Trezor.io website to avoid malicious versions.
Open the downloaded file and follow the installation wizard. The process is straightforward and typically completes in under a minute.
Note: You may need administrator privileges to complete the installation on some systems.
