Trezor Bridge® is a vital component for managing your Trezor Hardware Wallet. It acts as a connection between your device and web browsers, ensuring safe communication between the two. If you are new to Trezor devices, starting up with Trezor Bridge® is the first step toward securely managing your cryptocurrency.
When you plug in your Trezor device for the first time, the Trezor Bridge® application ensures that your computer can communicate with your Trezor device. This process allows you to interact with your wallet securely and effectively. The Trezor Bridge® also eliminates the need for installing browser extensions, simplifying the user experience while maintaining high levels of security.
Before using your Trezor device, you must download and install the Trezor Bridge® software on your computer. This software is compatible with multiple operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux. To start, go to the official Trezor website and follow the instructions to download the installation file for your operating system. Once the download is complete, open the file and follow the on-screen steps to complete the installation.
