MyetherWallet Security

I think going with keystone is better than private key

What is the safest way to log MEW among of these?
    1.Keystone File
    2.Private Key
    3.Connecting Metamask.

Either keystore or Metamask works best.

I prefer using the private key than the two. I think that it is more convenient than to connect my MEW to metamask or keystore file. I also feel safe that no one can enter my account when I use a private key to open it. Although the two ways are also good,It still depends on the user in which way he is comfortable.

Without a doubt, MetaMask is the safest option to use on the list you provide. Using the other options leave the door wide open to thieves - it is like leaving the keys of your house under the front door mat.

Use Metamask. If you are sending your coins you can do it with offline mode.
You need to have two computers one online and one offline. That is a very safe option too.

In talking of MEW security concerns they did not recommend to use of these top two features because of hacking activities are very rampant today in which many known trading and wallet sites are already compromised by the hackers. MEW recommend the use of Meta mask and Nano Ledger hardware wallet because of its offline capability in which it ensure the safety of your coins but if you really need to use these given options then i recommend to use the Keystone file because it requires your personal password before logging IN.

I think the safest way to log in MEW is via keystore/json file and don't forget to bookmark MEW homepage on your browser, so everytime you want to login always access MEW via bookmark manager to prevent you from MEW fake login page (phishing).

I do this everytime i login into myetherwallet. I click the bookmark and never login from unsecure link in any site.
But i still login with private key, so can it be dangerous? Because i already bookmark the website?

Using the keystore/json file is not safe either. Both the private keys and keystore/json file can easily be stolen.

MyetherWallet Security is the best......the address which is used to get tokens and the private key is used to secure myetherWallet.......

[AgentZero23]

Using the json file and meta mask would be the best in terms of security.

[arunakiran]

for MEW security concerns they recommend only first 5 accesses to uses i.e., View w/ Address Only, MetaMask, Ledger Wallet, TREZOR and Digital Bitbox.
I am using Metamask, till now I did not face any problem with MEW.

I think that the best option is use the private key. This is the simplest way for organizing decent security system. Just remember the phrase. Connection with Metamask and saving the file are more difficult options.

The safest way is to connect metamask but i will recommend using json file instead of private key you would just locate the file and enter your password, for me private key takes time to copy paste and the letters are very sensitive.

[sallydavisy]

One of the way - generate offline transaction on the second computer. Point is that you must use your private key only on the offline computer. More information here:

Yes, I use this option. Perhaps this is not the safest way, but it's probably one of the most convenient. The most important thing is to store your key in a safe place, you can use software tools or software and hardware.

Many use Metamask to get into Myetherwallet. you should try it. more quickly and safely in my opinion.

I would not even try any other option except this. I have been using this since I read some reviews a long time ago on the easiest way to keep your Ethereum assets safe and I stumbled on meta mask and the reviews was what made me anyway.

Also, looking at the security protocol of metamask and how easy it is to use, I find it a much better option in terms of security than toying around with the private key as well as the keystore file.

[South Park]

I think the use of keystore / json file in MyEtherWallet is safe, because the use of this information is very rare in the hands of someone else.
So it is better to login using keystore / json file with password.

Yeah for my that is enough as well, no only a hacker needs your password the hacker needs that file to get access to your coins and as long as you always access myetherwallet from a bookmark in a computer with no viruses you are as safe as you can be, we must remember that even if there are better ways to do something we need to be comfortable with the security we are employing or it is not going to work.

there will be no such hyper security as long as you will expose anything bout it.
remember this, keep it safe and known only and only by your self.
never share if you will make a paper copy and make it for your family.

[KlepZ]

I recommend wearing trezor wallet because it is real because many cases of ethereum mysterious loss may be hackers

[decano]

I prefer to log in to the Myetherwallet account using a Keystore file. Do not log in to the MEW account using the Privatekey. Safety rules are important. Keep the private key information in the paper wallet.
