Welcome to the Trézor.io/Start® guide. In this section, we’ll walk you through installing the Trezor® Bridge®. This essential software communicates between your Trezor hardware wallet and your computer. Without Trezor® Bridge®, your device won’t connect properly. The Bridge enables browser-based interfaces such as the Trezor Login page and integration with Trezor Suite. It runs quietly in the background, ensuring secure and seamless USB communication.
Most operating systems block direct USB communications by default. The Trezor® Bridge® alleviates this by offering a local communication layer. Once installed, you’ll enjoy quick access to Trezor Login web apps and a smoother experience logging into wallets or accessing advanced sections in Trezor Suite.
To begin, head to the official Trézor.io website and navigate to the “Start” or “Start®” section—sometimes called Trezor Io Start. Make sure you’re in the Starting Up Your Device flow. The site will detect your operating system and present the correct installer for Trezor Bridge. Download it, run the installer, and confirm it’s running in your system tray or background services.
Once Trezor Bridge is active, open your browser and go to the Trezor Login page. Your device should now be recognized immediately, allowing you to proceed with authentication, wallet access, or account setup.
After installation and successful device detection via Trezor Login, the next recommended step is launching Trezor Suite. This desktop app offers a rich and polished interface for managing your accounts, transactions, firmware updates, and more.
Pairing the intuitive layout of Trezor Suite with the secure backend of Trezor® Bridge® ensures a frictionless experience. You’ll avoid browser-based inconsistencies, enjoy richer visuals, and benefit from offline desktop reliability.
A: Trezor Bridge is a lightweight software that enables communication between your Trezor hardware wallet and your computer’s browser or desktop apps. It’s required for reliable USB connections and prevents browser security issues from interfering with wallet access.
A: First, confirm that Trezor® Bridge® is installed and running. Check the system tray or task manager. If it’s there, try refreshing the browser or restarting the computer. Ensure your USB cable is working, the port delivers data, and you're using an official Trezor cable.
A: No—Trezor Suite relies on the Bridge service for USB communication. Without it, the desktop app cannot detect your device reliably.
A: Technically, there is no difference. “Trezor Bridge” and “Trezor® Bridge®” refer to the same software. The branded “®” version highlights the official product name but the functionality is identical.
A: Yes, once Trezor Suite is installed and detects your hardware via Trezor® Bridge®, you can open Suite directly on connection. However, the initial “Login” or device authorization is handled through Bridge, so the first run effectively involves a login step.
