Trezor Bridge.
Understand The Connection.

Trezor Bridge was created to provide communication between Trezor hardware wallets, compatible browsers, and Trezor software. The standalone Bridge is now deprecated, so users should follow the current Trezor Suite connection method instead of installing outdated software.

03

Know the connection before you connect.

Understanding how your Trezor device communicates with compatible software helps you avoid outdated downloads, unofficial applications, and unnecessary setup problems.

A communication layer between your device and software.

Trezor Bridge was a background application designed to facilitate communication between a Trezor hardware wallet, Trezor Suite, and supported web browsers. It operated as a connection layer so compatible software could communicate with the connected hardware wallet.

Trezor has since deprecated the standalone Trezor Bridge. Current Trezor users should follow the latest connection instructions provided by Trezor Suite rather than searching for an older standalone Bridge installer.

Important: Avoid downloading old Trezor Bridge installers from unofficial websites. Use current Trezor software and documentation when connecting or troubleshooting your device.

Four practical steps for a clean connection.

If you are setting up a Trezor hardware wallet today, the safest approach is to start with current Trezor Suite software and follow its connection prompts. These steps provide a simple way to troubleshoot common connection questions.

01 / SOURCE

Use current Trezor software

Begin with the current Trezor Suite application or official web experience rather than an archived Trezor Bridge download.

02 / CONNECT

Connect your device

Connect your Trezor using a suitable data-capable USB cable and follow the connection instructions displayed by the software.

03 / CHECK

Confirm device detection

If Trezor Suite does not recognize the device, check the cable, firmware, browser or application status, and computer security settings.

04 / MANAGE

Continue in Suite

Once your device is detected, continue with wallet setup, account management, receiving, sending, and other supported Trezor features.

When your Trezor is not detected.

Connection problems do not always mean that Bridge software is missing. Trezor's current troubleshooting guidance points to several possible causes, including unsuitable USB cables, outdated firmware, computer drivers, VPNs, firewalls, and antivirus software.

01 / CABLE

Check USB data support

A cable may provide power without providing reliable data transfer. Try an original Trezor cable or another quality data-capable cable.

02 / SOFTWARE

Keep Suite current

Use the latest available Trezor Suite release and follow the software's own prompts when troubleshooting device detection.

03 / SECURITY

Avoid unofficial downloads

Do not install software from random download pages, advertisements, messages, or unknown websites claiming to provide Trezor Bridge.

The connection is only one part of wallet security.

A Trezor hardware wallet is designed to keep sensitive private keys protected while allowing users to interact with blockchain networks. Your own security habits remain essential when installing software, connecting devices, approving transactions, and protecting your wallet backup.

Never share your wallet backup: Never enter your wallet backup words into a website, support chat, email, computer form, or unexpected application. Anyone who obtains the backup may be able to recover the wallet.

Move from legacy Bridge to the current Trezor experience.

If you searched for Trezor Bridge because your Trezor device is not connecting, start with the current Trezor Suite experience and official troubleshooting resources. The standalone Trezor Bridge has been deprecated and may interfere with newer releases when it remains installed.

Use the current path.

Trezor Bridge played an important role in connecting Trezor hardware wallets with compatible software, but the standalone Bridge is now deprecated. For a current Trezor setup, use the latest Trezor Suite experience, follow official connection guidance, and avoid unofficial or outdated Bridge downloads.
