Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Trezor Bridge

Do I need Trezor Bridge to use my Trezor device?
Yes, Trezor Bridge is required for web-based interactions with your Trezor device. It enables secure communication between your Trezor hardware wallet and web browsers like Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. Without Trezor Bridge, you won't be able to access wallet.trezor.io or use Trezor Suite web version.
Is Trezor Bridge different from the Trezor Chrome extension?
Yes, Trezor Bridge replaces the older Chrome extension. It's a more secure solution that works across all major browsers without requiring browser-specific extensions. Bridge runs as a standalone service on your computer, providing better security isolation and automatic updates.
Does Trezor Bridge work with Trezor Suite desktop app?
The Trezor Suite desktop application has built-in communication capabilities and doesn't require Trezor Bridge. However, if you're using the web version of Trezor Suite (suite.trezor.io), you'll need Trezor Bridge installed for device communication.
Why isn't my Trezor device being detected?
If your Trezor device isn't being detected, try these steps: 1) Ensure Trezor Bridge is installed and running, 2) Try a different USB cable and port, 3) Restart Trezor Bridge service, 4) Check if your device is locked (enter PIN on device), 5) Try refreshing the browser page. If issues persist, visit our troubleshooting guide.
Is Trezor Bridge safe and secure?
Absolutely. Trezor Bridge is open-source software that undergoes regular security audits. It creates a secure communication channel but doesn't handle any private keys or sensitive data directly. All cryptographic operations and private key storage remain securely on your Trezor hardware wallet.
