In my opinion. I guess they are all important. Theyre safe tou use. It is trusted. Im using private key. So dont give away your private key, passwords. Keep it for yourself only. Keystone and metamask are also good for securing your account.
That's right, they are all important. It depends where you make computable to use, as long as you are the only one to know your private key. Be vigilant when you are using your wallet and keep your private key safety .

What is the safest way to log MEW among of these? 1.Keystone File 2.Private Key 3.Connecting Metamask.
1, paper wallet - just print your privatekey and then keep your paper wallet on the safe place. 2, Metamask - that was adding more security layer to your wallet, I remember there is a lot of people are saying about they are never having any problem while using metamask to keep all of their amount. 3, Keystone - this should be the last due to the security measure is only pegged on your password. And MEW also has a chrome extension actually, I've used it many times. You can find it on their official website, don't trust other than that.

for now it's better you use Metamask and you can install the Metamask add-on in chrome, firefox and opera. because I heard MyEtherWallet hard fork to MrCrypto, co-founder split and we should not underestimate this. If you use the bookmark manager when you log in to your MyEtherWallet wallet and always go through your bookmark on the site, then the metamask does not need to be expanded for the browser. In this case, you can not make a mistake in the name of the site and go to a phishing fraud site. If we consider the question of how to safely open a purse - a secret key or Keystone File, then the preference should, of course, be given to Keystone File.

to keep the security of a myetherwallet I do not think hope to use a public network based internet. so security can be maintained.
Agree , Public networks are prone in hacking especially if there is a crowd using the same network that you are using. Just use your own internet connection for the security of your own. I personally don't use public internets even when I am needing it. For the sake of my own coins. I can just buy load credits and convert it into our country's internet.

Im choosing keystore file. Keystore is a file that could be downloaded on your PC BUT needs a password to be accessed which makes it more secure while Private key is just copying the code then paste. Whoever can get into the system of your PC if you are exposed on keylogger can log-in your account easily. Metamask is imported on your browser but I found it easy to access and less secure.

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.

I choose Keystone File! Personally, I do this: 1) I add Myetherwallet to my browser tabs (I'm afraid of fishing) 2) I move Keystone Fillet to an empty USB flash drive 3) When I want to go into my wallet, I insert USB flash drive in my laptop...

Using 3 options above, using keystroke / Json File and private keys. If you want access via addons use metamask. What to watch for MEW is 1. Bookmark MyEtherWallet website 2. Do not share private keys 3. Do not store private keys, Json files etc in other emails. 4. Do not click on links that are not clearly emailed or website.

I use exactly the same method. I have several flash drives that are stored in a certain place. And before I go into the MEW, I check my computer for viruses

The better for me is Private Key, its easy and fast to used But the important is never share a private key to someone else to avoid hacking, never click any site that you think is a phising site. To protect the private key, better to copy it on the safe way that your the only one can access to your account and must do to bookmark the site of myetherwallet. If you think that your not comfortable to used Private key, you can choose among the two its either Keystone File or Metamask

First I had opened my wallet in MEW directly, because I thought that using MetaMask is complicated. After that I have decided to open a wallet and I can say that I like it. It is very simple to use. Therefore is my recommendation also Metamask.

I have personally used the last two methods of logging in to my etherwallet;private key and metamask methods respectively. The metamask method to me is safer than the private key because the metamask method help reduce the use of private key. I have not used the first method;keystone file. Thanks

The best thing to do is to have a json file + private keys wallet then put your wallet into metamask for more added security.Metamask will protect your private keys from being compromised by any phishing sites,it is the most powerful extension that aims to indetity these phishing sites.It is recommended by myetherwallet.com to be use together with their wallet.

I prefer to login via Keystone File because from there you need json file to open your wallet and it is sure for the hackers will have trouble finding your file, so that can be safer to login in your MEW wallet.

Mew itself will tell you that none of the option is save the safest is connecting hardware wallet to mew but if you can't afford to have an hardware wallet, do not expose your private key or click on a phishing mew site then you will be safe.

I think that Metamask is the safest way to access your wallet. Private key is the weakest option (you can input it at fishing site)

Keystore file is the safest because it is encrypted with your password and nobody can use it without knowing your password. That is why it's more safer than private key

I will choose keystore file to secure MEW from your options. However IMO, using a hardware wallet with MEW is the most secure way.
