MyetherWallet Security

[hdclover]

1. Metamesk: This is better because you aren't exposing any private keys.
2. Keystore: Next best option because of password protection though it possess same kind of risks of entering private key.
3. Private key: Not at all a recommend method to access wallet.

The most important thing is to save the private key and bookmark the MEW address to avoid fishing.
but many suggest connecting to metamask. everyone can choose the best.

[deadmousehat]

I never use private key and I not recommend to access your MEW with private key.
I just use Keystone File and I think is best and safest for me and I combine with metamask.

For myetherwallet security I suggest use metamask but if you are a mobile user you can use keystore. I'm using keystore file in opening my wallet because keystore file is very easy to use that is the advantage. Don't ever login using your private key because there are thousands of hacker out their. Be safe and research more about this.

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

My ether wallet in shortly (MEW) is a favourite wallet for altcoins. It has a great security system. It provides private key for securing. Private key is the best security system for my ether wallet.

I use private key. The safest thing is you do not haphazardly click on a link you do not know, that's the most secure

[ICOPara]

Metamask is more usefull for use mew but you should keystore to access your account in safe. Private key is so dangerous to login your account.
Also you should use more than 1 accounts to reduce the risk of stole.

Offline MEW is better than all of the above method because there is no chance of exposing your private keys to the internet. This reduces your risk upto a greater extent. But main disadvantage of cold storage is you can't access them frequently. So if you had to choose from the archive options then I would go with metamesk. If that isn't available them JSON keystore file.

Option 4: login with hardware wallet , it's a best way to protect your account, even you computer system not secure, recommend buy hardware walle (ledger nano s or trezor)

Connecting Metamask is the safest way to do so. In this way, you don't need to worry about losing your private key. You will be safe from these phishing scams if you use MEW with Metamask.

[Astermony]

Of the three options are all safe in my opinion, the best thing is how we should always pay attention to MEW link when logging in and do not click the unknown link

It is the best reminder to everyone that we should keep our wallet in a safe always.And be guided that we should pay attention for every action we take because once they hacked your wallet everything will be lost.If everything will be lost, your sacrifice and hardwork will be useless and only thing you can get and that is regret.

I recommend you use MetaMask for your security.
With MEW, you can access just with your Private Key so it very dangerous if anyone steal your PK, or some time you wrong and send your PK despite of address.
With MetaMask, you must access on your PC. And you should set up EAL extension for more secure your browser 

[genievic23]

I would suggest #3, Connect it to Metamask, you can download the extension in your browser, then make an account, and of course save the necessary data, then IMPORT your private key from your Myetherwallet, Then once imported, you can open your MEW using the Metamask way of logging in, it is more safer coz  the private key is hidden, and you won't be nervous anymore when logging in to your account.  It is very much useful for me.

Before, I did not understand the whole point of this new project for MEW, But what does metamask really mean? So he can offend me from hacker attacks?

[hannahB4]

So far for me I have always been using private key, not that the other listed are not okay but that's how I have been taught just that one needs to make sure the Myetherwallet is secured and locked and very vigilant for any spam.

The security of the wallet itself is quite high. But no one can give you a guarantee against your mistake, because thanks to social engineering you can be easy to manipulate. All the same I think that the purse itself is quite seriously protected.

If something does happen it is indeed the user's fault, most likely by entering details on a phishing site. MEW can only go so far trying to protect people from their own stupidity or lack of paying attention.

[Whosdaddy]

I don't recommend to login to MEW account using privatekey, so I will go for Keystore File for more safety.

Privatekey to me should be extremely private and unless there is just a huge need to use, should it be used. Also, the most important thing is to always keep your files safe because even if you end up using your keystore file and wrongly using it on a phishing site, that makes your account vulnerable, so at the end of it all, you also need to be extra careful in this case, but when compared to private key, it is still better.

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

This Three type of private code was acceptedly the safest to log MEW for our wallet but try to understand that if you accidentaly post it on a pubic was considered as your lost.Especially when you started to joined the compaigns because if you give your eth address you will never change it.And if the scenary that you post your private code in a public i will assure to you that it will be hacked.So keep your wallet key be safe always.

The best way from your list is Metamask, but the best way ever is hardware wallets like Trezor or Ledger Nano. Do not spare money and buy some hardware wallet.
