For your essential site, create a bookmark for the login page or type the URL directly in the browser address bar and Beware of unsolicited email and instant messages.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

the best agan storage can sympathize in the flash drive because there is more easy to access it to save it back in the flash so far from losing konci, and never play wifi other people and do not let others know our konci

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.

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, right ,
keep it offline and if necessary you must duplicate any data to some hardware such as flasdick or other storage such as cassettes and others

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.

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

Try to store it in a flash drive so that every time you need it you can easily insert and get it,and one thing never trust anybody even though your relatives and friends sometimes those people will become your worst enemy here in crypto world.

You should not often log into the wallet with an online address, I think you should download the metamask application to use for login and tokens transfer, many hackers took advantage of and created the fraudulent MEW site, they If you do not pay attention, you can not distinguish which one is real.

I have logged to the MEW last 24 hours and I don't get any problem with it. You can try to use metamask to give another security layer to your MEW wallet or it much better if you can try to run MEW locally (offline).
Always try to checked the URL and certificate. Never try to publish any data that related to your privatekey and for the last thing always keep your eyes with any update about mew.

I use metamask to secure my ETH Wallet and its private key. I Never use my private key anywhere, because, to me, safety is the priority. I Saved my private key in My google drive. You think it is not secure? Yes, that's right. And, That's why I kept my all account info in a locked Zip file, and then I uploaded that Zip file in my google drive, Pc drive, Smartphone drive and everywhere else.
