Trezor Bridge — The Link Between Your Trezor® Hardware Wallet & Trezor Suite

Quick guide: download, setup, login troubleshooting, account recovery and FAQs

What is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is a small, local helper application that enables secure communication between your Trezor® hardware wallet and the Trezor Suite desktop/web interface. It replaces direct browser USB integration and provides a stable transport layer for establishing encrypted sessions, signing transactions, and managing accounts without exposing your private keys.

Why you need it

Most modern browsers restrict direct access to USB devices for security reasons. Trezor Bridge runs on your computer, listens for your Trezor® device, and forwards requests from Trezor Suite (or other supported apps) to the hardware wallet. This keeps operations local and secure.

Where to download

Download Trezor Suite (desktop app) or open the web suite and install Trezor Bridge when prompted.
Plug your Trezor® hardware wallet into a USB port and follow on-screen instructions to initialize or unlock.

Troubleshooting common problems

Trezor login not working / Unable to login Trezor: ensure Bridge is running, try a different USB cable or port, and update Trezor Suite. Rebooting your computer often resolves driver issues.
Error connecting / Suite app not working: check for OS-level permissions (macOS: allow kernel extensions; Windows: accept driver prompts). Reinstall Bridge from the official site.
Trezor 2FA reset / Account recovery: Trezor® hardware uses seed phrases (recovery seeds). Use the recovery flow in Trezor Suite and follow official recovery instructions carefully. Never share seed words.
