🔗 Trezor Bridge — Secure Connection Between Wallet & Suite

Trezor Bridge is the secure software layer that allows your hardware wallet to safely interact with Trezor Suite and supported apps. This guide covers installation, login, portfolio management, security tips, and FAQs.

What is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is a lightweight background application that runs on your computer to establish secure communication between your Trezor device and supported applications. It acts as a translator, ensuring your browser or Suite can send encrypted requests to the hardware wallet and receive verified responses. The Bridge is vital when direct communication methods aren’t supported, such as in some operating systems or browsers.

Install: Run the installer and follow the setup instructions.
Connect Device: Plug in your Trezor wallet and unlock it with your PIN.
Launch Suite: Open Trezor Suite or a compatible web app.

Portfolio Management with Bridge

Once connected via Bridge, Trezor Suite can display your full crypto portfolio. You can check balances, view charts, track transaction history, and manage multiple accounts. Most importantly, Bridge ensures all critical actions like signing transactions are confirmed directly on your Trezor device, keeping private keys secure.
