Trezor Bridge is a secure communication tool that allows your Trezor hardware wallet to interact smoothly with supported desktop browsers and applications. It acts as a connector between your Trezor device and your computer, ensuring that transactions, firmware updates, and account management tasks are executed without exposing sensitive information. Because many modern browsers are phasing out direct USB communication for security reasons, Trezor Bridge ensures a stable and reliable way to use your hardware wallet across different operating systems.
1. Is Trezor Bridge required to use my Trezor device?
Yes. If you are using desktop browsers that do not support WebUSB or if you want the most reliable connection, Trezor Bridge is required.
2. Does Trezor Bridge store my private keys or seed phrase?
No. Your private keys and recovery seed never leave your hardware wallet. Trezor Bridge only enables communication and cannot access your secrets.
3. How do I know if Trezor Bridge is running?
It usually runs automatically in the background. When you open Trezor Suite and plug in your device, the app will detect it without additional steps.
