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

it is secure, despite that hack a couple of months ago, I still use it and I have not had any trouble with it. If you do not feel safe with it then you can use the metamask extension at the top of the website to transfer all of your wallet information there so as to make it more secure an safe for you to store your coins in.

Buy, sell and store real cryptocurrencies

You should use the metamask application to secure your account. In my opinion, the security is always on the top, and that is how we keep our money, not to be neglected, so it will be difficult to achieve.

Yes, it's secure, I used a lot of wallets when trading and investing in the world of digital currencies and i have not had any security problems. But always remember that be careful of logging your address into a scam site. there is so many scam site in crypto.

Yes, I've been using myetherwallet for almost a year and so far I didn't experienced any trouble. Just be aware that you are visiting the legit website. Don't get phish and everything will be alright.

Yes, i think that MyEtherWallet have enough security to use it for Ethereum and erc20 tokens transfers. But you should always check the green lock at your browser.

I have been using my ether wallet, and until now it's very safe, but if you're still in doubt, there's another alternative, MetaMask, many of which say metamask is safer than myetherwallet, metamask works like add ons in your browser.

Absolutely safe. The main thing is to do the following things:
- Add a site to your browser's favorites, because attackers often publish phishing sites in Google search.
- Check the site certificate so that it is not replaced.

It depends on the way how you will use computer with this wallet, and how you will keep keys. You have to use it in secure computer with antivirus installed and don’t use it for suspicious sites.

Exactly, MEW wallet is legit and working well for me but the security of your wallet will depend on your activities. Its good that you put your MEW details on a safe computer/Laptop so hackers can't do their job to hack you. Though a lot of people say webwallet is too risky, I still think that it will depend on how much money you have in cryptomarket.

There are some people recommend me that we shouldn't use Private key to log in. I also often log in by Jonson Key+password

I think it is not secure to use my Ether wallet. a couple of months ago I was a problem because my account was hacked and I lost 5 ethereum I am never suggest to use myetherwallet. If you want to a good and secure wallet so you can use metamask or you can use blockchain and coinbase I think this wallet very secure and never lost your money in future. I am always suggest to everyone use metamask for store your any kind of token.

myetherwallet is the safest Etherum wallet to use in the entire market and it doesn't even save your data or private keys it's all with you and it just lets you connect for a short period of time with the ethereum main net just by typing your private key or uploading your wallet file and once you close the tab of browser your data is erased from the website, but there was a dns problem which hackers took advantage of and stole many people's tokens but that was all people's fault and not due to mew.

No that was not the peoples fault (except they were stupid to use a webwallet) it was an inherent security flaw in the design of the internet and is why you should NEVER use a webwallet.

Idiots use web wallets.

I would recommend to use Metamask instead.
MyEtherWallet got hacked a lot of times.
So be cautious.

Of course, Myetherwallet is the easiest to create and use. However, you need json file security and your private key. Please save the exact address of the website to avoid web phishing or fake intentionally steal your account. Limit use of private keys when logging in, if you prefer higher security should use Metamask addon.

The safety depends on you. If you are careful not to enter your private key into fake websites and your device is clean without malware then you are always safe with MEW. MEW is very safe but if you are careless then it is not safe

I think it's safe, but you just have to be careful of fake sites, bookmark your site for security

It is secure to use myetherwallet, but one need to understand the techniques to follow on the site, and make sure that its the original site he was performing his transactions

Why not? To my mind it is safiest site, but you have to bookmark original pagein order to enter your data on a right website.
2-3 times there has happened issues with DNS changing,but it is rare

Also I can advise you to use the antivirus to check the site's license. If you use Google Chrome, you can install the application Cryptonite by MetaCert. It will protect you from phishing scams and fake twitter accounts. If you are careful, the use of the MEW will be safe. In my opinion, this is safer than using wallets from third-party developers.

Also use the extension Cryptonite, very convenient and reliable.But I advise you to keep the private key on another computer.It'll be safer that way.

I've been using MEW for a long time and I really like it. despite the fact that all the time there are messages that someone MEW hacked, I'm not going to change your wallet.
