Security Considerations

Your private keys and recovery seed always stay inside the device—never exposed to the internet or browser memory.
Transaction signings are user-verified on the device screen to prevent phishing attacks.
Trezor Bridge automates connection with web platforms while maintaining strict separation between device secrets and browser processes.
Always keep Trezor Bridge and your device firmware updated for the latest protections.
If you notice erratic browser behavior or failed device detection, check for latest Trezor Bridge release or contact official support.

Only approve transactions after carefully checking device prompts; ignore web pop-ups not confirmed on your hardware wallet screen.
