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

[azhariejaya]

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).

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.

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.

The safest among this 3 is the metamask it can secured all your token and also detect malicious website by that you can ensure better security of your funds. Metamask is a user friendly interface also you can download a plugin on google store for easy use

[iconoclast]

I use Metamask it is simple, convenient and safe. So far you never hear any stories about people being hacked when using Metamask. The same can not be said for Keystone file and Private Key.  

[Cosmo2020]

I would say that all are equally the same risk. Be sure to check the site's address prior to inputting sensitive info. That should do it.

[udayantha11]

private key. i usually use private key, thats doing for lone time. but the thing is you have to keep that private key is a safe place. if its stolen your funds will lost. print the paper and keep

[xcbjsuw]

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

[_IRMAN]

all that is safe, but it can also turn unsafe if :
1. you are not careful in entering data into a website that actually is phishing, so your account can be accessed by others
2. make sure the device you use to login MEW is protected from viruses, if the device you use has a lot of viruses it could cause your account is not secure

Better using Metamask while login to Myetherwallet. Private key is to risky.
You can use private key as long as your computer clean from any malware or keylogger.

[TreXzar]

Definitely Metamask. Use the key phrases and your Metamask password to login to the browser addon. then log into MEW with Metamask.

Whilst the key file and private key is perfectly fine if your computer is not compromised, the problem is most people dont know if their computers are compromised...

[sylance]

Most would probably say a hardware key like Ledger, but besides that then it's definitely MetaMask.  I use to use the private key but that means storing it somewhere so you can copy and paste.  At least MetaMask is behind a password wall so that helps.  Besides that... it makes using MEW much more seamless.  I highly recommend it (I just wish I could delete the default account in MetaMask.)

[klixion]

There is no safest method of using myetherwallet.  If you expose any of those to an unauthorized user, you'll lose your tokens.  Simple as that.  All 3 methods are great ways to access your tokens through MEW and are safe to use as long as you keep them secured.  

[franss]

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

I recommended using Keystone/JSON File. Make sure pay attention
1. Safe your Keystone file in Computer that has antivirus up to date.
2. Back up your Keystone file, with archiving it into .rar file and protected with password then safe it on another media storage(for backup). I do using this because virus are difficult to broken/infected .rar file. Besides, MyEtherWallet doesn't have any backup about your file, so if you losing it or was broken by virus its very risky.
3. Open MEW from browser with type the url, myetherwallet , don't falling into phising link.
4. Nothing 100% secured system, but at least you have 99% control your wallet in secure.

I was interested in possible cases of hacking a secret key by selecting code using various programs for this. Neither in this topic. nor the similar ones that are available on this forum I've never heard that a secret key can be hacked. Proceeding from this, I conclude that the MyEtherWallet wallet is quite reliable and you just have to follow the precautions when using it.

[Mankov]

I use Metamask, too. But are the funds really safe when I´m storing them in longterm, is it not like a hot-/online-wallet?

Actually I use 2 Metamask-accounts, 1. for buying/selling, 2. for storage.

[muhammedb]

i think keystone files is the right way to protect your myetherwallet but its also necessary to save the private key some way saved in case you lose the keystone file.
