Making MEW more secure???

[Vcam76]

The problem of MEW is they not have 2FA or recovering feature. For securing, the good choice is by use METAMASK. Metamask is a browser plugin that possible you to un need to use private key every login times. You only need to import your private key in once than you can access your wallet just with type password that you set when you install metamask. Metamask will handle your session to login on wallet and take care of security problems.

i think there is no any another way to secure more the MEW. you can use metamask as transaction the altcoin. it is slightly more secured compare to the general MEW wallet. there is no any another way.

Hi friends,

Is there any way to make MEW wallet more secure like enabling 2-factor authentication or sms otp etc. I tried to Google it but I don't think MEW support 2FA.

Also, what are some best MEW alternatives that you are using?

I think Myetherwallet is very safe, to be more secure when logged in should use json / keystore files to be more secure because it is definitely the phishing web will have trouble opening your account.

I do not know why people here say that the MEW wallet is not safe, I think that it is very safe on the contrary, so I think that making MEW even safer is certainly necessary, but I think it will be superfluous

Just basic ways to prevent your funds to be stolen:
Use metamask, always check your search, some letters could be slightly different , for instance with dots or other symbols, don't open suspecios link

Use hardwallet wallet so that you me wallet will be more secured,isntall metamask extension to protect your wallet's private key from being stolen by the phishing sites and malwares,metamask extension would be the best anti phishing extension today and it is also recommended by the mew itself because this extension will block your access from potential scam sites.

Get some hardwallet you can buy either ledger nano or trezor it is for your own safety because theres a lot of hackers in the web which will do everything so scam peopel.Do not install suspicious apps and extensions so that you wont have anything to worry about because metamask extension will protect your private key encrypting inside the metamaks,so these hackers wont get your accounts  easily.

There are lots of apps available on android mobile to store ERC20 tokens in our mobile like the wallets like Imtoken,Freewallet.org,but none of them are secure as much as MEW.
If you want to keep them in long term then buy and hardware wallet called Ledger Nano S which now support ERC20 tokens too.

But it is perfectly secure without the need of another factor of authentification unless you may mistaen and fall victim of phishing sites. The lat design graphic lunched in the home page of MEW make difficult the try to make a similar site; just bookmark the correct address or use metamask which is also secure.
