How exactly do Matrix bridges work? Are they secure? (beehaw.org)

What I'm looking for ultimately is a universal chat type app like Beeper that can handle Signal and SMS, however, reading this about it gives me pause. It would be nice if I could get all my peeps on matrix, but since it was so hard to get them on to Signal, I think the best I can hope for is something than can handle matrix, signal, and sms. Which brings me back to the title, how exactly do Matrix bridges work and are they secure?

EDIT: SMS is insecure by its very nature, yes?

so I don't have to go hunting for my phone everytime I have to do 2FA

Automatically forwarding the SMS to the desktop, could turn that 2FA into 1FA.

How can I do that? KDE Connect is one option I'm looking at
