What is Trezor® Bridge?
Trezor® Bridge is a small, trusted helper application that runs on your computer to allow secure communication between your Trezor® hardware wallet and the Trezor® Suite (desktop app) or web flows at trezor.io/start. It abstracts USB protocols so your browser or the Suite can read the device, sign transactions, and manage accounts without exposing your seed phrase.
Why you need Trezor® Bridge
- Enables seamless USB connection between Trezor® Wallet devices and desktop/web apps.
- Provides secure transport for signing transactions, checking balances, and device management.
- Ensures compatibility across macOS, Windows, and Linux where direct browser USB may be restricted.
How to download & install
1. Visit trezor.io/start — always use official links.
2. Choose your OS and download Trezor® Bridge or the Trezor® Suite App (desktop).
3. Run the installer and follow on-screen steps. After installing, reconnect your Trezor® hardware wallet and open Trezor® Suite.
Troubleshooting common login issues
If you see Trezor® login not working, Unable to login Trezor, or Error connecting Trezor® account try:
- Ensure Trezor® Bridge is installed and running (look for a small tray icon on Windows/macOS).
- Use the latest Trezor® Suite App; update both Bridge and Suite to current versions.
- Try a different USB cable or port — not all cables carry data.
- Restart your browser or desktop app; if using browser flows, disable interfering extensions.
- If you still can't verify the wallet, consult the Trezor® Help Center for device-specific logs.
Account recovery & 2FA
Trezor® hardware wallets never store your passphrase or seed online. If you lose access, use your recovery seed with Trezor® Account Recovery procedures in the Suite. There is no central "Trezor® 2fa reset" — two-factor authentication tied to third-party services must be reset with those providers. Always follow official Trezor® guidance when restoring a seed.
