It is hard to be safe with MyEtherWallet.com if you creating keys when you are online. If you are not careful the search engine will lead you to sites like MyEtherEUNwallet.com. which can fool you anytime of the day.You must always be offline when generating key wallet pairs.

I won't recommend anyone to use MEW if you are holding only ETH there. Instead try blockchain online wallet. They are pretty old in this business of providing wallet service to the crypto community and recently opened up for ETH as well. MEW can be used only for tokens. If you are not an investor in token ICOs and just earn from various bounty campaigns, the NEW is a good choice because you are most likely to see that tokens as soon as it is listed in EtherDelta exchange. But for holding proper ETH, don't go NEW as the security feature is not impressive. I am only using NEW for token holding and related transactions, but not for original ETH.

Most people who use this wallet are get hacking because they do not see the url details of the websites they visit. MEW site has many copies so be careful if you want to visit it. It could be your wallet data can be recorded.

maybe i want to add something here. usually after the ico is finished, every participants has been receive their token into myetherwallet and then its up to them to still keep in that wallet or move the tokens into exchanges. the best thing that you can do is you need to move the tokens into other wallet or exchanges if the tokens is get listed in the exchanges and leave your myetherwallet empty. usually the tokens is listed on etherdelta or hitbtc and i am prefer with hitbtc because for me, etheredelta is too confusing. don't keep your token especially your ethereum balance into myetherwallet.

Yes, Nice suggestion, although at the beginning of my career I don't know what to do with my tokens just sitting on MEW and afraid that someone will stole if from me. . I just safely bookmarked MEW website on my end and I always double check the URL still. Everyone of us should be really careful and need to protect our money from phishing sites. I won't recommend anyone to use MEW if you are holding only ETH there. Instead try blockchain online wallet. They are pretty old in this business of providing wallet service to the crypto community and recently opened up for ETH as well. MEW can be used only for tokens. If you are not an investor in token ICOs and just earn from various bounty campaigns, the NEW is a good choice because you are most likely to see that tokens as soon as it is listed in EtherDelta exchange.

Agreed. ETH should be place on a more secure wallet and not on MEW. There are wallets that allow you to hold multi coins so its very easy to get one and secure your ETH together with your bitcoins. Last time I check though, I still have some dust tokens that needed to be deposited to Hitbtc.

Nice info you got there but I dont think they will work all the time. About the bookmarking of myetherwallet site, it is okay as it is but the thing about saving your public and private key in the same notepad or document, it is much better if you will just memorize it or write that on a paper that is always inside the wallet you use daily rather than save it somewhere. Also, the registering of private keys on bounties is something caused by the user itself so I think it should not be included.

I agree and your suggestion is very good. I also kept a private key and backed up all my wallet in a book, may sound funny, but I believe it's a very safe thing.

Most people hold MEW and make use of it cause of ERC20 tokens and that is the only way you can access it anyway unless you move your tokens to an exchange. So once this account is compromised, not just your ETH but all your assets in tokens you have been holding gets compromised too. I honestly do not like the security features for MEW but you just have to be very careful since that is the only thing available right now but I really hope something better can come up later on.

They don't save any info and keys, the site is secure. I don't see much wrong with it, obviously there are people who want 2fa and such which is understandable. But you can go to blockchain.info for that.

To be safe in myetherwallet(MEW), you should be careful on the site of this wallet because there are lots of fake sites called phising sites. You can know it by observing the spelling of "myetherwallet" because some phising sites misspelled it like myethnerwallet, they put "N" to make it ETHNER instead of ETHER. Just observe every site you want to login especially when it comes to your wallet, cause some phising sites. ake their sites almost the samewith the original site to complicate yiu and lead you to be a victim of scamming. Don't just login your private key on the site you first searched, check it 5 times or more just to make sure it is true and not fake for your wallet's safetiness.

I believe that is the main reason you should confirm the exact site and bookmark it. You cannot blame google if you cannot confirm things for yourself, since most of this scammers go as far as placing ads on google to target users. Find the official site just like OP said, bookmark it and make use of only that link. Be careful of the links you receive on your email too.

Myetherwallet is safe but the chance of being hacked by fake MEW websites are very high. Double check before you want to entry private key. Don't click any link on slack.

I first started getting tokens on my MEW, but now it's important for me to understand what to do next Step by step. Perhaps someone can provide a link to step-by-step advice on moving tokens on exchanges from MEW, selling them, where to get the ETH from selling tokens, etc. I would be very grateful for such information.

I do appreciate the effort which is somehow useful among newbies but come to think off those are just really a common sense thing to do for you to protect your own MEW. It would really be a normal thing that those private keys are the most important to access such wallet.Once it would be compromised then chance of getting hacked is 100% which means storing it on the most secure we do think off. Always bookmark the legit site link and even don't stored up your keys on cloud.In my case I do put it on Flashdrive on all of my keys together with other wallets.
