i want to check if it is safe..
so far i feel safe, there is no big problem i face on pur wallet. so I guess it's safe enough to keep all your tokens
but you have to be careful of the files and private keys.

I use MyEtherWallet in almost 7months and I don't see any problem to stored my token in that site this is easy to use and trusted my many bitcoiner all over the world so I think MEW is a safe place to stored your token but be careful because in this last few month many phising site that almost look a like by MEW don't ever give your private key to anyone like in any slack channel always check the url of the site.

It is safe but there are several fake links that will send you to a fraudulent wallet that looks exactly like the real site so make sure you always check the URL before you provide your private key. There's an option to log in with MetaMask which makes it safer but ---> always link to the site by typing out the URL directly and never follow unsolicited links to the wallet.
So far i use myether wallet it safe. Only be aware to phising link when you generate your key.
I think i suggest to bookmark link to myether wallet and make sure always open wallet with that link.

Been using MEW for the last couple of months and so far I haven't experience any breach yet. I bookmark the site so that I won't be able to be phished in case I type it. And on the top center of MEW you will see a warning,
"WARNING: IF YOU CLICK A LINK to MEW from EMAIL, SLACK DM, or a FORUM, YOU WILL HAVE YOUR COINS STOLEN. Do not click.
Instead, install EAL or use MetaMask."
So it really depends on how you use your wallet. Never ever divulge your private key to anyone. And always be cautious on any website or link that you click.

My etherwallet account was hacked. I created a new one however I am still worried if it is still safe. I lost worth two ethereum token and I am so disappointed.
Well, its for you to find out. There are many victims of hackers and hopefully you will not be one of us. Goodluck.

It's because of lacking security measurements of your wallet, you should always remember that private key or the keystore/.json file is not shareable and it's recommended that after you made the wallet on myetherwallet.com you should delete the keystore/.json file and save the private keys.
And having been lazy without checking the URL will result in hacking from the phisher all throughout the web, That's why you need to be cautious too.

Well, so far my thought on MEW is quite safe and secure. Even though there are several "MEW lookalike" phising websites trying to send fake emails and scamming MEW users, but as long as you're not clicking those unknown links - you're at a safe place.
Plus, never ever give out your MEW private keys to anyone (except you're dying and want to pass your MEW account to a new trustee)

Yes it is but you have to make sure that you are using official url of the site and must check ssl certificate (green bar) of myetherwallet llc on address bar.
Also you have to remember password of your wallet and must save encrypted wallet file in safe place to access your wallet later on.

yes mew have a strong privatekey so nothing to worry about the security of your tokens or coins but remember always take care of your privatekey do not share to the other people keep it to the safe to protect your investment, if you lost your privatekey your mew wallet can't open forever.

MyEtherWallet.com does not hold your keys for you. We cannot access accounts, recover keys, reset passwords, nor reverse transactions. Protect your keys & always check that you are on correct URL. You are responsible for your security.
As far as I know, they don't store your private keys so technically you are not storing your funds on their site, you are just using it for sending or receiving the ETH balance by producing private key every time.
While I was searching for MyEtherWallet on Google, I saw an advertisement by phishing page MyEtherWallett and if you are visiting that site and using your keys then your funds are lost forever so beware while wallet file containing private keys. MyEtherWallet is a safe place but there are chances of a desktop as well as web phishing on your side so precaution is a must.
It'll be safe if you keep your private key safe as well. But there is a fake MEW on the internet for now so you should pay attention at the website link before log into your wallet through your private key

I feel safe, so far I have no problem with MEW. it's just that you have to be more careful of personal keys and phishing web.

I think MyEtherWallet is very safe wallet and easy to use, keep your privatekey in a safe place and keep it separate from your address wallet.
