Title: MEW encrypting an unencrypted private key?
Post by: manboy on September 04, 2017, 07:37:17 AM
Hi all,

I want to encrypt my private key on myetherwallet, however I don't know how. I've already looked in the help section and tried downloading their app and following the instructions they listed, but when I exit out of the app and go to myetherwallet.com and go into my account it still says the private key is unencrypted.

Im afraid that someone could be entering random private keys and could eventually land in my wallet.

Could anyone tell me how to encrypt it please? Or is there not a way to do so?

Do not worry. No one can find your private key, if you keep it secure.

I think that you can not encrypt your secret key, there is a good security system in this purse and you have nothing to worry about, the more you write about your purse, the more you attract attention to it, and that's not right

do not worry about your wallet, it is securely protected and no one can accidentally enter the key and go to your account, be quieter and do not worry about it))

why to encrypt your key, it is already very safe and there is almost no chance of hacking it, but if you use different encryption software, then there is a great chance that your key will get into the network and then you will be in danger,

I think that everything is very simple than it seems. In fact, it is unnecessary to enter your private key into all the holes that the Internet offers. You just need to hide it on a flash drive and do not worry
