Trezor Bridge — Connecting Your Trezor Device
Trezor Bridge is software designed to help supported browsers and wallet interfaces communicate with a Trezor hardware wallet. It can be useful when a Trezor device needs to communicate with compatible wallet software on a desktop computer.
What Is Trezor Bridge?
Trezor Bridge works as a communication layer between your computer and compatible Trezor wallet interfaces. Instead of treating your hardware wallet like a conventional online account, the software helps the wallet interface communicate with the connected physical device.
Getting Started With Trezor Bridge
- Visit the official Trezor website. Start from Trezor's official documentation and locate the current Bridge download instructions for your operating system. ```
- Download the appropriate software. Select the version provided for your supported desktop operating system and follow the official installation instructions.
- Install Trezor Bridge. Complete the installation process and allow the software to run when required by the supported Trezor wallet interface.
- Connect your Trezor device. Connect your hardware wallet using a compatible cable and follow the instructions displayed by the official wallet software.
- Verify device interactions. When prompted to approve a security-sensitive action, carefully check the information shown on your physical Trezor device. ```
Is Trezor Bridge a Wallet?
No. Trezor Bridge is a communication component rather than a cryptocurrency wallet itself. Its purpose is to facilitate communication between supported software and the connected Trezor hardware wallet.
Trezor Bridge Security Tips
