Step 1: Install Trezor Bridge

Trezor Bridge is a communication tool that allows your Trezor hardware wallet to interact seamlessly with your computer. Without it, the Trezor Wallet web interface cannot detect your device.

To install Trezor Bridge:

• Go to the official Trezor website.
• Download the latest version for your operating system (Windows, MacOS, or Linux).
• Follow the installation prompts carefully.
• Restart your browser to ensure Trezor Wallet recognizes the Bridge.

Once installed, the Bridge runs in the background and manages encrypted communication between your device and the web wallet.

Step 2: Connect Your Trezor Device

Connecting your Trezor device safely is essential to maintain the integrity of your cryptocurrency wallet.

• Plug in your Trezor device using a reliable USB cable.
• Open Trezor Wallet in your browser.
• Follow the on-screen instructions to unlock and verify your device.
• Ensure your device firmware is up to date to avoid connection issues.

For troubleshooting, always verify that the Bridge is running and your browser allows necessary permissions for USB communication.

Step 3: Security & Tips

Security is the cornerstone of using Trezor devices. Follow these practices to stay safe:

• Always download Trezor Bridge and Wallet from official sources.
• Never share your recovery seed with anyone.
• Use a strong password and enable passphrase protection.
• Keep your device firmware up to date to protect against vulnerabilities.
• Be cautious of phishing sites and fake Trezor tools online.

By following these tips, you ensure a smooth and secure experience while managing your crypto assets.
