It is safe but there are several fake links that will send you to a fraudulent wallet that looks exactly like the real site so make sure you always check the URL before you provide your private key. There's an option to log in with MetaMask which makes it safer but ---> always link to the site by typing out the URL directly and never follow unsolicited links to the wallet.

I think MyEtherWallet is very safe wallet and easy to use, keep your privatekey in a safe place and keep it separate from your address wallet.

I feel safe, so far I have no problem with MEW. it's just that you have to be more careful of personal keys and phishing web.

It'll be safe if you keep your private key safe as well. But there is a fake MEW on the internet for now so you should pay attention at the website link before log into your wallet through your private key

MyEtherWallet.com does not hold your keys for you. We cannot access accounts, recover keys, reset passwords, nor reverse transactions. Protect your keys & always check that you are on correct URL. You are responsible for your security. As far as I know, they don't store your private keys so technically you are not storing your funds on their site, you are just using it for sending or receiving the ETH balance by producing private key every time. While I was searching for MyEtherWallet on Google, I saw an advertisement by phishing page MyEtherWallett and if you are visiting that site and using your keys then your funds are lost forever so beware while wallet file containing private keys. MyEtherWallet is a safe place but there are chances of a desktop as well as web phishing on your side so precaution is a must.

Yes it is but you have to make sure that you are using official url of the site and must check ssl certificate (green bar) of myetherwallet llc on address bar.
Also you have to remember password of your wallet and must save encrypted wallet file in safe place to access your wallet later on.

Well, so far my thought on MEW is quite safe and secure. Even though there are several "MEW lookalike" phising websites trying to send fake emails and scamming MEW users, but as long as you're not clicking those unknown links - you're at a safe place.
Plus, never ever give out your MEW private keys to anyone (except you're dying and want to pass your MEW account to a new trustee)

It's because of lacking security measurements of your wallet, you should always remember that private key or the keystore/.json file is not shareable and it's recommended that after you made the wallet on myetherwallet.com you should delete the keystore/.json file and save the private keys. And having been lazy without checking the URL will result in hacking from the phisher all throughout the web, That's why you need to be cautious too.

Been using MEW for the last couple of months and so far I haven't experience any breach yet. I bookmark the site so that I won't be able to be phished in case I type it. And on the top center of MEW you will see a warning,
"WARNING: IF YOU CLICK A LINK to MEW from EMAIL, SLACK DM, or a FORUM, YOU WILL HAVE YOUR COINS STOLEN. Do not click. Instead, install EAL or use MetaMask."
So it really depends on how you use your wallet. Never ever divulge your private key to anyone. And always be cautious on any website or link that you click.

So far i use myether wallet it safe. Only be aware to phising link when you generate your key. I think i suggest to bookmark link to myether wallet and make sure always open wallet with that link.

I use MyEtherWallet in almost 7months and I don't see any problem to stored my token in that site this is easy to use and trusted my many bitcoiner all over the world so I think MEW is a safe place to stored your token but be careful because in this last few month many phising site that almost look a like by MEW don't ever give your private key to anyone like in any slack channel always check the url of the site.

If you have ethereum, myetherwallet is advisable to use to stored ethereum. And yes myetherwallet is very safe because before open or unlock your wallet you need to input your private key first.

I think MEW is one of the safest and most used wallet out there since you have full control of your wallet's private keys. And since MEW supports ERC-20 tokens, many people are using it because most of ICO's nowadays require a wallet which is etherium token standard.

I personally think that myetherwallet is secure and easy to use. The only time you can get scammed is by accessing a phishing domain other than myetherwallet.com, in order to avoid this you must always double check if the domain is myetherwallet.com, don't access any other MEW other than this one. Its always wise to install meta mask extension on your browser, to ensure extra security measures.

I think that MEW is a safe place to store and use wallet. Just keep your MEW password and phrase safe from any hackers. Also look for fake links that can lead to fake site that is almost identical to the real one.
