This colorful presentation explains how Trezor devices connect to apps and the modern, secure path for browser and desktop connectivity. It also clarifies the current status of the legacy Trezor Bridge component and guides you to the official connection method with Trezor Suite.
Trezor Bridge was a small background program that enabled your computer and browser to communicate with a Trezor hardware wallet. It acted as a connector between your device and web interfaces that didn’t natively support USB access.
The standalone “Bridge” app is no longer required for most users. Modern connectivity is handled by Trezor Suite (desktop or web) and standards like WebUSB in supported browsers. If you still have the legacy Bridge installed, it’s recommended to remove it and use Suite for the smoothest, safest experience.
Always prefer official Trezor software and URLs. Beware of clones or look‑alike sites.
Only use trezor.io domains. Bookmark the official pages below and avoid sponsored search results that mimic official branding.
Updates include security patches and compatibility fixes that keep connectivity smooth without legacy components.
Always confirm addresses and actions on your Trezor screen. If the device shows a warning, stop and verify the app and URL.
Scam sites may claim to be “Trezor Bridge” and prompt fake downloads. The legitimate connectivity method is through Trezor Suite and WebUSB. Do not enter recovery seeds into any website or extension. Your seed belongs only inside the physical device.
No. The legacy Bridge is deprecated. Use Trezor Suite desktop or supported browsers with WebUSB.
For many flows the Suite desktop or web app provides the most secure foundation. Some dApps may integrate via the Trezor Connect API; always verify the site and confirm operations on your device’s screen.
Close other wallet apps, unplug/replug the cable, try another USB port/cable, and open Trezor Suite desktop. Ensure OS permissions allow USB access.
