Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to the most common questions about Trezor Bridge

Do I need Trezor Bridge for all Trezor operations?

Trezor Bridge is required for web-based applications that need to communicate with your Trezor device. Native applications like Trezor Suite may have alternative connection methods, but Bridge ensures maximum compatibility across all platforms and applications.

Is Trezor Bridge safe to install?

Yes, Trezor Bridge is developed and maintained by SatoshiLabs, the creators of Trezor hardware wallets. It undergoes rigorous security testing and code audits. The software only facilitates communication and never has access to your private keys, which remain securely stored on your Trezor device.

Can I use multiple Trezor devices with one Bridge installation?

Yes, a single Trezor Bridge installation can handle multiple Trezor devices connected simultaneously. Each device will be independently managed and you can switch between them in supported applications.

What happens if I uninstall Trezor Bridge?

Uninstalling Trezor Bridge will prevent web-based applications from communicating with your Trezor device. Your cryptocurrencies and private keys remain safe on the device itself. You can reinstall Bridge at any time to restore web application functionality.

Does Bridge work offline?

Trezor Bridge creates a local communication channel between your browser and Trezor device. While the Bridge itself doesn't require internet connectivity, the web applications you're using will typically need internet access to interact with blockchain networks.

How often should I update Trezor Bridge?

It's recommended to keep Trezor Bridge up to date for the best compatibility and security. Enable automatic updates or check for updates monthly. New versions often include improvements for newly supported applications and enhanced security features.
