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.

What is the main difference between mycrypto and myetherwallet? Both are online wallets, so how could you avoid phishing on some other online website?

In order not to suffer from phishing,it is necessary to observe minimal precautions.It isn`t difficult at least sometimes to check the name of the site.

honestly I have never heard of Mycrypto wallet, but I'm sure mycrypto wallet is no less good than myetherwallet, so in my opinion which wallet I am is the same if we can't maintain the security of our own wallet

For me, MEW is also safe its just that the user must be careful so as not to login on phishing website. Mycrypto on the other hand is also safe and secure as I said early the user just have to be careful when using those wallets.

Even if MEW gives us so many functionalities it can hacked by little mistake. I think Mycrypto will be solution for that. I haven't still use it. If it has been founded by same team that have made MEW we can trust on that.

MyCrypto is developed by the same team of Myetherwallet, so we can trust this wallet.

I have never used MyCrypto, but I am a Myetherwallet user, I just want to say that all this time using MEW is safe and comfortable. Maybe many people think about hacking MEW but it's very difficult. The point is we must always be careful, in my opinion, both are the same. thank you

I have tried it, is it possible to send ethereum without downloading app? I couldn't find it.

Yes, you can, but if you are going to access your wallet with your private key, you need to download the app, if not, it's not possible.

Thanks for the information that you given to us. This is means we need to be careful when we try to visit to other website because maybe sometimes it not true website or pishing site. Always check first before you log in because once you log in maybe you will be lost.

That we have not started seeing the phishing sites of My Crypto does not mean hackers are not aware of it. We still need to be very careful before clicking on any site. You never can tell how hackers will come in and it might be a time we least expect.
If you already know the original sites of most of them, you can just bookmark.

The best thing to avoid phishing is to bookmark MEW official website..Store the private key in the USB, don't just save it into your desktop or mobile phone.

Everything that is on internet are not safe.
So if you want to use safer wallet go use hardware offline wallet.
Blackhat Hackers is everywhere.

Both are very similar wallets, both are safe in my opinion it only depends on users what they will click. I check link before entering private key so I have never been fished.

What an advise LOL! It's not that hackers do not know about MyCrypto yet (they probably know about it already) but it's maybe taking them more time to find a way to hack or they are not yet interested at all.

Anyway, thanks for the reminder. I was planning to create one earlier but totally forgot about it.

There are a lot of fishing websites and scammers on Telegram, that are using different tricks to get to your personal information. Never provide your private info to anyone and stay away from such scammers on TG.

Thank you for the info, friend, but I still use myetherwallet, and as long as it's safe, as long as our private key is not given to others

That's true and me too still using myetherwallet and never get into trouble as long as we store our privatekey safely. And most importantly bookmark the myetherwallet site.

this adds a reference to me, that there is something safer than Myetherwallet.
all depends on someone, for those who are already accustomed to bookmarking important links it will reduce the risk of phishing links.

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

That is true , and also remember that their are hackers that are always exploiting the system and trying to find loopholes in it. To these people it does not matter what kind of system or new technology it has if they want to hack it they will hack it and that is why companies like Microsoft, Facebook and other big companies over the net are paying big for there security, though there will be still loopholes in it.
