it is very safe to make your wallet use myetherwallet with the ethereum platform, but keep your public key safe.
because it's one way to access your wallet.
and be careful now that many phishing sites even look very similar to the myetherwallet site,
so my advice after you make a wallet, mark the page

If the URL is correct or you used the same bookmark saved on your browser, you are safe. All the other things you used to access the wallet things simply out if missed here.
Well, that is the best option we can do here. Bookmarking a site which is safe will less of chance that you've scam or hack and that is a safe strategy in clicking site. There is also site that bait to click once you have been clicked you've fallen into their trap.
You can still use the vintage site of MyEtherwallet or known as an old site of MEW site.

Bookmarking is 1 way, it is a very good way and how I keep track of my sites. But make sure to do it on a saved account so you can export to other new devices for future.

But remember also it is not the only way,,, always use whitelists and always also check extensions regularly and keep an eye on the updates. Sometimes patches prevent vulnerabilities, but only if you upgrade the latest patch.

For me its better to use old accounts for mew because making a new one is very hard to understand and it has a chance to forgot your password wallets but it is also secure and safe for using mew.
they updated more secured for customer, looking good for me and friendly. old or new one are same when you are understand how to safe private key into right place not at phising site.

I want to create new wallet using MyEtherWallet(dot)com, is it recommended wallet and easy to use?
It is safe to use as long as you know how to handle or how to secure your coins and your private key, they have a new dashboard now, which is much easy to navigate, but I highly recommend mycrypto desktop version, it's much safer and they always release a new version almost every month to keep it secure and bug free.

It is not 100% secure and people lose trust on websites that are hacked once. But what is great about them is they remind people to use hardware wallets to access their accounts or use a 3rd party wallet app when you want to make a transactions. I do follow them because I don't want any hackers to access any of my details.
True. they even remind users to always check their URL before they get in and reminding them that using private is not advisable so it is already up to the users if they heed or not, that will already be in their own risk.

Many times this question has been asked because multiple templates copied sites available in the marketplace. Some people lost the funds also on such phishing sites. First see the reference on internet security confirm that whether you accessed right URL or not.

If the URL is correct or you used the same bookmark saved on your browser, you are safe. All the other things you used to access the wallet things simply out if missed here.

More than 2 years  using myetherwallet to store my eth and erc 20 tokens and still havent encountered any problem,  i saw many times before that mew is lalways targeted by hackers but still my funds and tokens are safe.

Even I did not encounter with any scam on using this site Mew. but people here does not know the right URL and keep on stucked with the phishing site and then coming here to complain about Myetherwallet.
We do not know how come these coming up with multiple issues after multiple times we explained the solutions.

If you do not share the private key at the phishing site, you funds will be safe for life time.
The security of ones wallet depends how  he/she  using it. Put your private keys  in safe area ,  do not click messages or emails that contains suspicious link ,always bookmark the coorect address.

As long we can make our wallet safe, online wallet actually is very secure. I mean, there are no wallet site attacked by hacker yet since i join crypto. And and we ourselves are the determinants of our wallets safe or not.

I've been using https://www.myetherwallet.com/ for 2 years and I didn't also encountered any problems. Just lately I notice that they upgrade their website with the interface and added mnemonic phrase. I think MEW is this best ERC-20 wallet where you can deposit your tokens safetly.
that's right bro, i agree with your words because myetherwallet has developed a wallet that is very easy to access balances with lots of choices, but my advice is you have to save UTCjson or privatkey files so they don't fall into the wrong person so that your coins and tokens it's safe

I use this wallet for a long time and if you follow the security that no one can steal your money. I think that this is one of the most reliable wallets, but it is better to use it in conjunction with the Ledger


Yes, MEW is one of the best wallet out there for storing the coin because i have been using this MEW wallet for more than 2 years if we follow the security measure then definitely you will be in safe hands and moreover, you shouldn't share the details of your wallet to anyone.

Myetherwallet is a secure wallet but it can easily be compromised by hackers if you are their target when you login with web link and your private keys that is why it is often recommended that you combine it with metamask which is a free application.

Use metamask instead. Because in some of the case, what I have observed, some private keys are somehow become public. I don't know much about it. I have seen this case couple of days ago someone complaining his ETH is going to another address automatically.

Yes, it is the recommended ETH wallet, but not more than Hardware wallets.
But, you must have to care about your wallets. Following things, you can do to keep yourself free from hackers.

1.) .com official site has only .com extension so never go with other extensions.

2.) Bookmark official website.

3.) Check URL twice or thrice before getting in.

4.)  Do daily antivirus scan.

5.) Follow them on twitter for updates.

6.) Check for the gas price, sometimes you pay the high tx fee.

7.) Never click on a link received in the email.

8.) Telegram used to attack users, beware of unknown telegram users, hacker use images and name of ICO's to scam users.

9.) Be active on BitCoinTalk.
