I want to create new wallet using MyEtherWallet(dot)com, is it recommended wallet and easy to use?
of course MEW is safe wallet. and I recommend to you to use metamask, It is more safe wallet. If you don't know how to use it please see the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uJjfn4wizE I hope  You will get more information from this video. Best of luck.

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.

Yes, for ERC-20 coins its the most secure and recommended wallet. Most of the people holding erc-20 coins are using this wallet. If you are careful enough then it cannot be hacked.

It is secure if you use it rightly,
keep your wallet address safe,
Be careful of logging your address into a scam site
There is no safe wallet if you are not carefully enough to make it safe. A good percent of our wallet safety is in our hand.

Yes, my ether wallet is pretty secure wallet and a large no of people in crypto market use this wallet to hold their coins. People can lose their wallet if they share their private key to scams and phishing attempts if they are not careful.

The biggest threat of such website is all about phishing, aka directly to a similar website which resemble the same as MEW and get your private keys easily, its easy not to get scammed by simply notice the url, but its different story if somebody already had access to your network, or key press which wouldn't have any factory of safety anymore

I have been using for several years and I have not had any security problems. The main thing is to use elementary security rules and you don't  have to worry. Basically, people themselves are to blame for the loss of their funds from their mew wallet.

It seems to me that this is the most secure wallet for storing Ethereum and tokens on its platform.This wallet is from official developers.Just do not get caught on fraudulent sites.

I wrote a guide about using wallets, it can be found here! It's very important when using MyEtherWallet to remember that there's more than one way to be deceived, the service itself is safe but there's plenty of phishers and even DNS hacks, so if possible, try to get a hardware wallet Smiley

Yes, it's totally secure to user MyEtherWallet. But make sure you don't make some mistakes and lose your account like entering your private keys on phishing sites, Always check your connection if it isn't secure leave that site immediately. Or on another hand, you can use some third-party extensions to secure your MEW wallet like Cryptonite by MetaCert.

Yes, it's secure, but there can be a problem with your computer. Your PC also needs to be secure.
I've been robbed even if I use myetherwallet. (keylogger etc...)
If you can to buy, only hardware wallet.

I used a lot of wallets when trading in the world of digital currencies. The most successful, high-security and useful wallet in my opinion is myetherwallet.

so far, I feel so good using MEW, it's just that we have to save the private key properly. well, I feel that this is not much different from blockchain, the system is very similar, it's just that MEW is specifically for altcoins. Until now, I still use it.

I think everything goes back to the wallet user, because it is safe or not the wallet platform, if the user is careless about the wallet's privacy, it seems that it will make it easier to access the wallet you have.
but so far myetherwallet is one of the most widely used wallets and also many of its fans, so this is proof that myetherwallet is one of the very best wallets from some existing wallets.

 I was very OCD on my own security.First of, it's important you have a clean computer with a good anti-virus and malware program check your pc daily! You just dont want anything on your pc! So get that done! A paid one is always the best! Scan, re scan, use different malware scanners and make sure everything is in the clear!, also Only unlock your MEW if you want to send funds,Always check that you are on the correct URL, final one is keep ur privet key safe.then you will be safe.

I think you should search on google with the keyword: myetherwallet or you can visit this address https://www.myetherwallet.com/. You should install metamask to detect fake myetherwallet pages. This is very important for users of myetherwallet

myetherwallet.com website or DNS has been hacked multiple times in the past or one can scammed thru a phishing attack.
mycrypto.com team split from myetherwallet.com for added security and prevent the DNS/website hacks, they have a wallet to install on your PC with similar user interface and functionality as the online web wallet or myetherwallet.com.  
myetherwallet is not at fault when it comes to the issue of phising attack, it is caused by some other people, it is created by someone who actually targeted those wallet with huge amount of storing money.

Yes, myetherwallet is the best erc20 tokens and eth web wallet for me. It is secure if you are going to protect yourself from any possible harm but if you want a much safer storage use a ledger or trezor that is the most safe hardware wallet that i know as of this time.
