The Function of **Trezor® Bridge**

Essential Communication Layer

The Bridge is a small application that runs in the background on your computer. Its sole purpose is to act as a local communication layer, allowing web applications (like older versions of the **Trezor® Wallet** or third-party services) to communicate with your physically connected **Trezor® Hardware Wallet**. Without this software, your browser cannot see or interact with the device.

When the **Trezor® Bridge Download** is Necessary

The need for the Bridge is highly specific today. You may need the **Trezor® Bridge Download** if:

  • You are using a web-based **Trezor® Wallet Login** interface instead of the dedicated **Trezor® Suite**.
  • You are connecting to a non-Trezor third-party **Trezor® Wallet** that relies on the legacy communication protocol.
  • You've just completed the setup via **trezor.io/start** and need the underlying driver for web access.

The Recommended Path: **Trezor® Suite**

✨

Why Use **Trezor® Suite** Instead?

The dedicated **Trezor® Suite Download** is now the preferred, all-in-one solution for your **Trezor® Hardware Wallet**. Unlike web applications that require the separate **Trezor® Bridge Download**, **Trezor® Suite** is a native desktop application that handles connectivity directly.

  • **Integrated:** No need for **Trezor® Bridge Download**; it's built-in.
  • **Features:** Includes advanced features like CoinJoin and Tor integration.
  • **Unified:** Manages all aspects of your **Trezor® Wallet** in one place, including firmware updates.
  • **Mobile Access:** Use the companion **Trezor® Suite App** for mobile connectivity.

FAQs About the **Trezor® Bridge** and **Trezor® Suite** ❔

Do I need the **Trezor® Bridge Download** if I use **Trezor® Suite**?

No. **Trezor® Suite** (the desktop application) integrates the necessary connectivity components. You only need the Bridge if you insist on using the old web-based **Trezor® Wallet** or another compatible web interface.

Is the Bridge safe to install?

Yes, if downloaded from the official source, the **Trezor® Bridge Download** is safe, as it's signed by Trezor®. However, to maintain the highest security standards, migrating to the **Trezor® Suite Download** is strongly advised.

What happens if I cannot complete my **Trezor® Login**?

If your device is connected and you can't log in (either via Bridge or Suite), ensure you completed the setup at **trezor.io/start** correctly and that your firmware is up to date. The issue is rarely the Bridge itself but often a setup or firewall problem.

Does the **Trezor® Suite App** on mobile require the Bridge?

The **Trezor® Suite App** connects to certain Trezor® models using USB-C or Bluetooth (if available). It does not rely on the **Trezor® Bridge Download**, which is specifically for desktop operating systems to facilitate web-browser connections.
