It's really simple. Use MyCrypto instead of Myetherwallet. It's made by the same team, It looks the same and it has more improvements so there is no reason why you wouldn't use it.

I haven't seen a single phishing attempt yet targeting Mycrypto, most likely because hackers are not really aware of it as of now as not many people use it. Either way, the domain name is shorter so It's unlikely that you'll fall it.

Now is the time that 100% can not be trusted to anyone. I don't know why you think that MyCrypto is harder to hack than MEW. If they want to hack - then they will hack you

I think MyCrypto might be a very good option to MyEtherwallet, for security reasons it's not always good to use one type wallet to store your tokens,with its incorporation with other security tools like metamask I think it's highly secured.

The main thing is not to show your private key when you shoot some kind of video for YouTube)

I use both MEW and Mycrypto. But MEW is more convenient for me

MEW is enough for me. It's safe and easy to use. If you can, show the improvements that MyCrypto has done to prove that MyCrypto is safer than MEW. I don't think MyCrypto has the same development team with MEW because there is no reason for them to develop a new project with same use case.

I haven't seen any proof about Myetherwallet created by scam team. Myetherwallet is being used by almost 9 out of 10 crypto relevant people. MEW are always warning people not to click on phishing links, checking green url, using metamask are more safe to use private key.

Maybe the reason is that the website version of Mycrypto doesn't allow users access their wallets with their private keys, they need to download the desktop app to do it.

It will always depend on the user on how they will handle the wallet.
Make sure that you have a safe website or link.
https://www.myetherwallet.com <<< that is the safe link.
Make sure that it is saved on your browser.
Also, please make sure that your private key is safe and not shared with anyone.

In my opinion, Myetherwallet is still trustworthy. If you do not disclose the private key. Hackers can't crack your wallet at all. Unless you click the phishing website yourself. Try not to click on strange websites.

I guess the reason why myetherwallet is more vulnerable to phishing is because it is consisted of the characters "l" which can be substituted by the upper case of "i". In this case, the users will not going to notice some changes to it and it really looks like the original website.

While its early, you can use it but I doubt that hackers probably didn't really know that mycrypto is MEW alike.

Be a responsible wallet user whether its MEW or mycrypto, don't be fooled by phishing sites and don't click email provided links.

Positive things we must support, but we still have to be aware of any form of threat to the wallet starting from each of us.

You haven't seen a single phishing attempt yet targeting Mycrypto just because it's much less popular then MEW...
But I think it's just a matter of time...
I suggest to use offline MEW or Mycrypto wallets...

That's right. Installing metamask as extension is really a thing now since phishing sites are everywhere and in just one wrong click everything will be messed up.
Though I'm not a fan of MyCrypto as I'm still good in MEW, so I think I'll just stick to it to avoid overlapping.

Happy Coding Life Smiley

Thank you for your information, but I prefer not to act carelessly, such as clicking on any bid on an unclear website, and I always attention for typing of private data on a secure website, installing security extensions on the browser, and being careful of the pop-up services when we open a website.
