The Trezor® Bridge is a small background application that enables secure communication between your Trezor® Hardware Wallet and the Trezor® Suite desktop app or web interface. If you plan to use your Trezor® Wallet, start at trezor.io/start to get official downloads and instructions. Installing the Trezor® Bridge is often the first step to ensure reliable Trezor® Wallet Login and detection.
Why you need Trezor® Bridge
Trezor® devices communicate over USB. Modern operating systems restrict direct USB access for browser-based wallets; Trezor® Bridge acts as a trusted intermediary so Trezor® Suite App (desktop) and supported browsers can verify your device, prompt for PINs and manage accounts.
How to download & install
- Visit trezor.io/start — always use the official site.
- Choose your OS (Windows / macOS / Linux) and download Trezor® Suite or Trezor® Bridge installer.
- Run the installer and follow on-screen steps; reboot your computer if prompted.
- Open Trezor® Suite and connect your Trezor® device with the original USB cable.
Troubleshooting common login issues
If you see Trezor Login not working or Unable to login Trezor, try these steps:
- Confirm Bridge is installed and running (check system tray / Activity Monitor).
- Use original USB cable and a direct USB port (avoid hubs).
- Restart Trezor® Suite and the computer; unplug and replug the device.
- Temporarily disable antivirus or browser extensions that block USB.
- If you see Can't verify Trezor® Wallet ensure firmware is up to date via Trezor® Suite.
Account recovery & 2FA
Trezor® devices never store private keys on hosts — recovery uses your recovery seed. If you need Trezor Account Recovery, use a new compatible hardware wallet and your 12/24-word seed; follow official recovery steps in Trezor® Suite. For Trezor 2fa reset scenarios, consult the Trezor® Help Center: resetting two-factor often requires service-specific recovery procedures beyond the hardware wallet (contact the service provider).
Error connecting & advanced fixes
For persistent Error Connecting Trezor® Account or Trezor® Suite App not Working issues, reinstall Trezor® Bridge, update OS USB drivers, or try the Suite desktop app instead of in-browser. Back up your recovery seed before any major changes.
