I was shocked when I visited MyEtherWallet last month and indeed I was difficult to access my wallet. But I tried some way that suggested by the support I was able to open my wallet. Until now I can access the wallet without any problem. MyEtherwallet thing is doing a good move I think, this is not something that will be harm for the user. At least it will make an awareness (especially for me) to not access the wallet carelessly.

Honestly I don't like myether wallet, the first time I tried it out I decide  not to send coins to the wallet address, after trying few other eth wallets I later choosed coinomi wallet over others until trust wallet came around
coinomi  only have few listed tokens more of the tokens created in ETH platform will not supported by that wallet so its not a good choice to use coinomi.

I only using imtoken  application in play store to stored ETH and other tokens. Its the same you can create a new wallet or use the old wallet you have if secured your keys.

Ever since I found out about Trustwallet, I've given up on them. Trustwallet has everything I need, simple and fast. Also they are managed by Binance so I always trust this wallet absolutely

You should try to download mycrypto desktop wallet and just try to open your keystore use mycrypto desktop wallet and i have been using it since MEW has made me feel inconvenience.

I hope that will be working perfectly.
okay, I would give this a shot and see. Actually, I was a bit reluctant moving away from the use of MyEtherwallet even though some friends of mine advised me to stop using their platform. I guess I have learnt my lesson the hard way Sad.

I have stopped using MEW long time ago. I had also lost a significant amount of funds while using this wallet. I prefer other wallets that can be downloaded either on my mobile or desktop. Web wallets should always be avoided for storing crypto assets as there is high risk of these wallets getting hacked. If anyone is interested in knowing which are the best Ethereum wallet in 2020 then click the link.

I have not used myetherwallet for more than 2 years because there have been many problems and cases of losing money there, now I have moved to use metamask and trustwallet.

Since last year I moved from myetherwallet to metamask so in 1 year I have never accessed myetherwallet, thank you for sharing your experiences.
I hope everyone is also careful or can check on myetherwallet to see the assets they have. Is it alright or having problems like OP

I created a topic https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.54384321 earlier describing how I was finding it difficult logging into my Ethereum wallet which I created last year. I saved only the keystone file because of a past experience where I lost huge amount of money by saving my private keys. I decided to open this new wallet which I use my keystone file to access about two days ago and the feedback I received got me disturbed. Initially, I thought this was just a little glitch and I could get it solved but it happens my funds are gone forever.

I reported this in several other communities and it seems this has been the fate of others as well. Going forward I want us all to take the advice of not using Myetherwallet platform in creating and accessing our ethereum wallets.  I think there is a loophole with their platform and hackers are exploiting it at some point in time and the saddest thing is that they are not aware of this loophole. If you have ever been a victim of this situation please support this post with just a comment just to warn other forum members to stay away from using MyEtherwallet and if your funds are valuable to you I suggest you start moving them one after the other!
 
Below is the image of feedback that I get when I try accessing my wallet. I have open this wallet for like 3 times with this same Keystore file. All my other Keystore files are working just the one with the money lmao.
