Using MyEtherWallet is way easier and it is much more secured than the other wallets we all know. It's also good for transactions and such since it is already being used by the people who uses cryptocurrency around the globe. And of course there is MetaMask that's way also good than the other existing wallets right now.

I want to create new wallet using MyEtherWallet(dot)com, is it recommended wallet and easy to use?

MEW is safe to use. Just make sure that you safeguard your private keys and store only funds that you immediately need access to. Create multiple wallets as well.
Long term storage should be on a hardware wallet like Ledger.

Don't be afraid to use MyEtherWallet. It is a secure wallet that is used by millions of people. The spread of the use of cryptocurrencies is stopped by computer illiteracy and people's fear of something new. Therefore, we need to explain as much as possible to other people the basic knowledge on the use of cryptocurrency.

Yes it is safe if you use mew on a web browser without extensions. But i advice you to use metamask, you can create eth address on metamask easily. I think it is safer than mew and also you can use metamask and mew together.

Yes, it is highly recommended and very easy to use. Just make sure you use a clean machine, that the address is correct and take some time to read the warnings.
Make sure that it is the legit site for myetherwallet because sometimes it is not. Read before doing so. This wallet is mostly recommended and secure for smart contract. Be careful where you keep your private key and do not share it to everyone. It is advisable to use hardware wallet where to keep your coins.

The greatest danger of such site is tied in with phishing, otherwise known as specifically to a comparable site which take after the same as MEW and get your private keys effectively, its simple not to get misled by basically see the url, however its diverse story in the event that some individual as of now approached your system, or key press which wouldn't have any manufacturing plant of security any longer

Yes, it will be safe. But everything must have a risk. Save your own private key and don't share to your friend or other. You must keep your own private key.

Until now it is still safe to use myetherwallet to store ethereum or tokens. As long as we keep the private key in a safe place and don't forget. And don't be fooled by phishing sites so our wallets are still safe. I also use Meta Cert or MetaMAsk.

Yes. I think that it really is secure to use Myetherwallet. It is very secure, and one of the safest out there, and highly recommendable too. If you are not so sure of it anyways, you can chose to make use of any of the hardware wallets that are available. But really, you are just good with Myetherwallet. Don't just permit untrusted ads and what what on your browser, and never share your login info.

based on my experience using MEW ERC-20 is an experience using a wallet that is very easy to use.
and also a high level of security, but be careful with pirated sites that are circulating, because it is very similar to the original to deceive victims and loot the entire contents of the wallet by irresponsible people.

Yes, he is one of the most friendly wallets for this type of coin I think. Overall, I think his security level is pretty good too. So, for starters, I think it's an ideal job. For a safer wallets I think it's better to use a hardware wallet.

In 99% of the cases where the MEW was hacked, the user had mistakenly clicked on a wrong (but similar looking) url, and fell in to the trap. So please bookmark the official MEW page if you are using it regularly.

Myetherwallet is pretty secure if used in a proper way. But we people can't really go through the whole security arrangement while opening the wallet everytime. Sometimes it is phishing site, sometimes it is license problem, sometimes dos attack etc etc. You can use Metamask or MIst as a safer alternative. You can install a Google Chrome plugin, called EtherAddressLookup, which will warn you if you open a wrong website.

I trust this wallet because I have heard a lot of good reviews about it and some of my friends are using it right now and they don’t see any bad sides.

It is easy and a secure wallet if you ask me. I have use it since day 1 i start my journey on cryptocurrency, and never failed me once. There are things you can make sure to give you the best security you can get on MEW though, which are :
1. Bookmark the MEW official web. If you need to go there, open link from your bookmark page.
2. Secure your key or any data related to the address in an USB device and keep it offline.
3. Write down and make a paper wallet for a backup.
4. Only open your wallet in your personal devices.
5. Last thing, do not ever tell someone the credentials of your wallet, or carelessly put it on a vulnerable places.

If you follow all the safety rules, then this wallet is quite reliable. The most important thing is not to go to phishing sites.

Wallet is good and easy to use. it can handle and store every erc-20 tokens.
but if you will ask the Qeustion if it is secure? it will depend in you.
how will you have the account and handle the security?
the private key is one of the most important in any wallet if you will not save it in the right place you might loose it.
if you will share it to others your dead.

I think that as long as we are more careful in using MEW, it is still secure. So far, I'm still using this wallet to store my ERC-20 based coins and tokens. So far, MEW is still my preference because it is easy to use and instant. I know that it has been hacked for some MEW at that time. but, it can be good experience for us.
