SECURE CONNECTION

Connect Your Trezor
Device
Securely

Trezor Bridge is a program that allows your Trezor hardware wallet to communicate
with your browser securely. Download and install it to start using your Trezor device.

What is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is a communication interface between your Trezor hardware wallet and your web browser. It enables secure data exchange without compromising your private keys or sensitive information.

When you connect your Trezor device to your computer, Trezor Bridge acts as a secure intermediary that allows web applications like Trezor Suite to communicate with your hardware wallet. This architecture ensures that your private keys never leave the secure environment of your Trezor device.

The Bridge runs as a background service on your computer, automatically detecting when a Trezor device is connected and facilitating the secure transmission of transaction data for signing. All cryptographic operations happen within the isolated environment of your Trezor hardware wallet, making it virtually impossible for malware or attackers to compromise your funds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to install Trezor Bridge to use my Trezor device?

Yes, Trezor Bridge is required for your Trezor device to communicate with web-based applications like Trezor Suite. Without it, your browser cannot establish a secure connection with your hardware wallet.

Is Trezor Bridge safe?

Absolutely. Trezor Bridge is open-source software that has been audited by security experts. It only facilitates communication between your browser and device – your private keys never leave the secure element of your Trezor hardware wallet. The Bridge cannot access your funds or sensitive data.

Can I use Trezor without installing Bridge?

Some browsers support WebUSB, which allows direct communication with USB devices without requiring Bridge. However, WebUSB support is limited and Bridge provides better compatibility and reliability across all browsers and operating systems.

How do I know if Trezor Bridge is running?

On Windows and macOS, you should see a Trezor Bridge icon in your system tray. On Linux, you can check if the service is running with the command: sudo systemctl status trezord. You can also visit http://localhost:21325 in your browser – if Bridge is running, you'll see a status page.

Does Trezor Bridge work with all browsers?

Yes, Trezor Bridge works with all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and Brave. It provides a standardized interface that works consistently across different browsers.

How do I update Trezor Bridge?

Simply download and install the latest version from this page. The new installation will automatically replace the old version. Your settings and configurations will be preserved.

Can I use multiple Trezor devices with one Bridge installation?

Yes, Trezor Bridge supports multiple connected devices simultaneously. You can switch between them in your Trezor Suite or other compatible applications.

What ports does Trezor Bridge use?

Trezor Bridge runs a local server on port 21325. This port is only accessible from your computer (localhost) and is not exposed to the internet, ensuring maximum security.

Troubleshooting

Device Not Detected

If your Trezor device is not being detected:

  • Try a different USB cable – faulty cables are a common issue
  • Use a different USB port, preferably one directly on your computer (not a hub)
  • Restart Trezor Bridge or your computer
  • On Linux, ensure udev rules are properly installed and reloaded
  • Check if your device appears in Device Manager (Windows) or System Information (macOS)

Bridge Not Starting

If Trezor Bridge fails to start:

  • Check if another instance is already running
  • Verify that port 21325 is not being used by another application
  • Reinstall Trezor Bridge with the latest version
  • Check your firewall settings – Bridge needs to run a local server
  • On macOS, ensure you've granted necessary security permissions

Connection Timeout

If you experience connection timeouts:

  • Close all browser tabs using Trezor Suite and restart your browser
  • Disconnect and reconnect your Trezor device
  • Update your Trezor firmware to the latest version
  • Disable browser extensions that might interfere with USB communication
  • Clear your browser cache and cookies

Uninstalling Trezor Bridge

To completely remove Trezor Bridge:

  • Windows: Use "Add or Remove Programs" in Settings, find Trezor Bridge, and click Uninstall
  • macOS: Drag Trezor Bridge from Applications to Trash, then empty Trash
  • Linux: Use your package manager (e.g., sudo apt remove trezor-bridge)
