What Is Trezor Bridge?
Trezor Bridge is a desktop‑based connector that lets your Trezor hardware wallet communicate securely with web browsers—without relying on extensions. It runs in the background and translates browser requests into safe commands for your hardware device.
Why It Matters
-
Cross-browser access: Works smoothly on Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave, and more.
-
Better security: Shields private keys with encrypted, local data paths instead of web‑only plugins .
-
Auto‑updates: Runs updates quietly so you stay on the latest version—such as v24.10.1 or v24.9.2 .
Installing & Starting
-
Visit trezor.io/start and download for your OS .
-
Run the installer, reboot your browser, and plug in your Trezor.
-
Bridge will auto-launch and be ready to use—no manual start needed.
🔐 Login & Logout
-
To log in: Connect your Trezor, enter your PIN on the device when prompted through browser or Suite.
-
To log out: Simply disconnect the USB cable and close the browser tab. Optionally, go to browser settings or Trezor Suite and “Forget” the device to prevent it from being recognized again.
Pro Tip
If a third‑party dApp suddenly asks you to install Bridge, it’s normal—some sites require it even when using desktop Suite .
