I started using Myetherwallet and never stop.
Why someone has security doubts?

Which are the differences between Myetherwallet and Trezor?

Trezor is Hardware wallet.
MyEtherWallet online wallet.
Cause last time more and more people get hacked, Never give your private key to strangers.

I was always wondering  what  could  happen if  myetherwallet.com  website get hacked... so it's   better  to have the coins on  a   desktop wallet,  instead of  a  web wallet?
It's   a  question because  I a  little bit  afraid  of  web based  wallets



MyEtherWallet.com is safe as long as you keep your private keys and passwords for wallets in a safe place (off-line, encrypted in separated files with a strong password or store private keys on hardware wallet like Ledger Nano S) Remember you can always check your Token balance in blockchain explorer, no need to login to MyEtherWallet. Keep your Tokens in few wallets, use one for transactions, and other for store your crypto. Remember to bookmark MyEterWallet.com and always check address bar for a certificate (padlock) never open any links to MEW from chats, forum or private message especially Slack - so many fake forks there, and you will be on safe side. VeraCrypt is highly recommended for storing your private keys and passwords, not in WordPad.

I think myetherwallet.com is safe for as long as no one else holds your private keys and other passwords on your myetherwallet account. I have had my MEW account for a couple of months already and I really don't have any problems with it so far and my coins are perfectly safe. Didn't need to transfer it elsewhere because I hold the private keys to my MEW account which makes me feel safe.

Yup - I love MEW. It's quick and easy, and I can use it for all of my airdrop coins. Just make sure to print a copy of your private key and put it in a safe somewhere.
