Trezor Bridge — What it is and how to fix connection & login issues

A concise, practical guide to connect your Trezor® hardware wallet to Trezor Suite, download official installers, troubleshoot logins and recover accounts.

Overview — how Trezor Bridge works

Trezor Bridge is a lightweight local application that facilitates secure USB communication between your desktop (or browser) and your Trezor® hardware wallet. Modern browsers limit direct device access for security; Bridge provides a controlled channel so Trezor Suite and other compatible wallets can send requests, receive signed transactions, and display confirmations on-device — while your private keys always remain on the hardware.

Download & setup

Visit trezor.io/start and choose your operating system.
Install Trezor Suite (desktop) or open the web suite. When prompted, install Trezor Bridge to allow device access.
Connect your Trezor® hardware wallet using the original cable and follow on-screen prompts to unlock with PIN or initialize a new device.

Common problems & precise fixes

Trezor login not working / Unable to login Trezor: confirm Bridge is running (restart it), try a different USB port or cable, and check that Trezor Suite is updated.
Error connecting Trezor account / Suite app not working: Temporarily disable browser extensions that interfere with USB, or reinstall Bridge from the official start page. On macOS and Windows ensure OS permissions for device drivers are granted.
Can't verify Trezor Wallet: always verify every transaction on the device screen; if a mismatch occurs, disconnect and scan for malware on the host machine.
Trezor 2FA reset & account recovery: Trezor®’s security relies on a recovery seed. Use the recovery tool in Trezor Suite to restore accounts — never type your seed into a website and keep it offline.

When to contact support

If the issue persists after reinstalling Bridge and Suite, consult the official Trezor Help Center and support docs. Official support and verified downloads are reachable from trezor.io/start and the Trezor support section — this avoids malicious or tampered installers.
