Trezor Bridge is a critical component for anyone using a Trezor hardware wallet. It acts as the intermediary between your Trezor device and your web browser, enabling secure communication with supported wallet interfaces, like Trezor Wallet.

When you connect your Trezor wallet to a browser interface without Trezor Bridge, your device may not function as expected. The bridge ensures encrypted communication, prevents unauthorized access, and maintains the integrity of your cryptocurrency transactions.
The installation process is straightforward:
Visit the official Trezor Bridge download page and choose the version compatible with your operating system.
Follow the installation instructions for your system. After installation, Trezor Bridge runs in the background, allowing your browser to detect your device automatically.
Once installed, you can verify your Trezor Bridge by visiting Trezor Wallet. Connect your device and ensure it is recognized.
After installation, open Trezor Wallet. Connect your Trezor device via USB. Trezor Bridge ensures the device is recognized and communication is encrypted.
