As many of you know, MyEtherWallet has begun to fall behind the day, and we've been forced to use MEW for some needs. At MEW, they must have noticed that by making an upgrade, they made the platform richer.
As always,
web wallet serves as the MetaMask for those who want to continue with the new interface
MEW CX Chrome Extension and also on mobile
Android and
iPhone .
[NOTE: To avoid events like before, please be careful of "
phishing" and do not enter your Private Key and Seed without checking all links, including the links I use here]
Up to this update, a different solution has been developed for mobile wallets with the JSON file and / or Private Key. Now mobile wallet application can be installed with seed key which can be used as mobile wallet hardware wallet.
Most of us, including myself, were having problems with the use of existing wallets in this mobile application. Because when you install the wallet, you can import your old account with the private key, not the seed key. I didn't know how to change this, so I sent an e-mail to MyEtherWallet and asked for a status return.
We recommend that you generate a completely new wallet with MEWconnect, and then transfer your funds from your old wallet to the new one. There are a few reasons why this is the best option for the security of your funds.
MEWconnect has a hardware wallet-like functionality. Your private key is protected. This is a significantly safer way to access documents than JSON / Keystore.
By creating a new wallet.
Restoring an existing wallet. Therefore, we do not want to be able to use our platforms.
That's it what came from the MEW team.
I guess that's why we won't be able to use old wallets at least for the time being with MEW Connect or MEW CX.
Thank you for sharing this with us and I have learned alot from what you just posted. Myetherwallet now have a new interface and when I was trying to access my wallet yesterday I got confused and I was afraid of Phishing because I could remember that many people posted here what happened to them and they ethereum holding before! I will join my voice with op to say be careful before long in into the new interface especially through online wallets.
