Don't store your private keys online. It is that simple, anything that is online can be gotten to by hackers and used to hack your wallets. Store your private keys offline. Try saving them in wordpad or another text editor that is similar to wordpad.

yes i agree with your opinion. never store your private keys online.. just save your private key in wordpad or another text editor like ms word.

You need to be careful with the sort of email messages you read requesting for private keys. Again, any website you are not familiar with, you should stay away from them as you could easily be hacked via virus attack. You should avoid sending your private keys over the media to a trusted friend to do some transactions for you. I will recommend that, you connect you wallet addresses to metamask by installing metamask on your various browsers. Metamask helps you to track phishing sites and avoid them. These are some tips to keep your private keys safe.

nice tips. i am agree, and we have to be careful of virus attacks and hacker

The simplest way to keep a private key safe on the MEW is to bookmark the https://www.myetherwallet.com/ page on your browser frequently and save the private key offline on your computer or phone, and The safest place to write in a paper and store in a safe place that only you know.

Do everything to protect your wallet, make a lot of back up for your private keys and don’t ever expose it to anyone you don’t even trust. I personally secure my wallet, I printed it out and no one knows the exact pattern I put on the wallet keys so its your strategy on how to protec your wallet.

The best is just to store one's private key offline. Private keys are often hacked at the moment. One just needs to be extra careful with it. It's best to store them in a safe place where the internet cannot even have access to it.

Avoid logging into your wallet frequently, only when really needed.
Limit use of private key to login.
In private key out and keep paper in a safe place, save it on the network is quite dangerous, hackers can steal it at any time.

If to store, then on degree of reliability looks approximately so:

1. Paper purse.
2. System from two computers of "cold storage" (there is such opportunity, for example, in Electrum, Armory).
3. Multisubscription purses together with hardware.
4. Hardware purses.
5. Multisubscription without hardware. (including with 2FA).
6. Softovye under Linux.
7. Softovye under Windows.
8. Online purses and exchanges.

you can rstore in a place that you think it safe, you can put in a usb drive then keep it. avoid opening always your wallet, just open you wallet if you like to do some transaction.if you are using MEW and if you are if you like to check if something new coins on your wallet just check it on etherscan.io just paste your address only. and you can also out an extra security 2FA.

As the latest news about MEW that is being breached thru a phishing attack and got lost of many ethereum can anyone give me a recommendation on how to use and store my private keys safe? I have been scared from that moment on what if i try to login to my MEW and got my account also breach.

There are a few methods to save your private keys securely, however, even if you save your keys well, if you visit a phishing site you will lose all your tokens because when you enter the fake site you are introducing those keys. In the case that you pose, the important thing is to make absolutely sure that you are on the real MEW site or, alternatively, to run MEW offline and locally.

My suggestion for you to keep your private keys safe is by making a hard copy of the private Key what I mean is print it on paper by so doing nobody can get to where it is once you keep it where no any other person have access to

We must careful we put in a hàrd wallet and no one can know about what is inside of that wallet. No letting others so that it will not stolen of others.

don't open your wallet using private key, this is very risky.
save your private key in notepad or any other text editor.
if you want to open your wallet you better install the add-on metamask on chrome browser first then import your private key on metamask.

The best way will be to store your private key in a paper or in a storage device that you are not using. And it's advisable not to be logging into your ether wallet often.

If you have money, you can buy hardware wallets. If there isn't enough money, you shouldn't store the private key in digital media.
I write this knowledge only on a piece of paper.

People make it really complicated when they talk about the safety of their wallets.. It is very simple thing that you have the key to your house and in the house you have gold pots with diamonds filled in. How do you see everything? You will obviously keep tight security around it and you will save your keys to somewhere place very safe.

Its just that you have to safeguard your keystone file and private keys in the same manner. Thats the only key to open up the whole thing so why not take extra precaution and save them with multiple copies on different hardware? You can always print the private key and place it somewhere safe. Simple.  Smiley

Hide your private key on notes
Password it if you want
If there any hack indicated
Change wallet and don't use your old wallrt
Use trezor or ledger if you want to feel safer
