I found myetherwallet confusing as there is no login/passw. Not comfortable with it. Couldn use it.
But what can be confusing about myetherwallet, just enter a password and store your keyfile and be done with it, my ether wallet is one of the easiest sites to use that is why it is so popular and that is why hackers target it so much, this happens because most people use myetherwallet to store their tokens there while when it comes to bitcoin most choose their own wallets.

Do you think MyEtherWallet is safe ? Coz its PK feature feels unsafe to me , you could just randomly type numbers & letters (a-f , 0-9) and you'll enter a wallet ..
It's just only your feelings, but most of the user of MEW are feeling safe unto it including me, because I've been using myetherwallet for a couple of months and so far its quite good and secured. And It is really proven and tested.
MEW is safe. it is one of the best Ethereum wallet bro.
just don't input your Private key on untrusted site or phishing sites.
always check the spelling of MEW site so you can be safe!

For me, I do believe that MEW or known as myetherwallet was very safe, I had been using it for so many months and in that period of time I never encounter any such things which is suspicious to me anyway.Yes, you are right because MEW is the best one to store other coins which belongs ETH smart contract. As long as you secure your private key and it is not possible to hack the coin. So it always good not to share your private key with others.
Myetherwallet is safe but the users aren't safe from the attackers and phishers and this is what we should be aware of. The fault of these hacks also lies to our carelessness, at the main and real website of myetherwallet says that we should be careful from MEW-lookalike website.

WARNING: IF YOU CLICK A LINK to MEW from EMAIL, SLACK DM, or a FORUM, YOU WILL HAVE YOUR COINS STOLEN. Do not click.
They had warned us and they are no longer accountable if something happens to our funds for not securing ourselves. MEW is now popular so hackers, phishers will target them. I still trust MEW. 
MEW is a secure wallet that embodies the ERC20 token but does not require the possibility of our daompet being hacked but this is our own problem in using private keys instead of applications and servers because the server is not responsible for our private key so we have to be careful in using them

MyEtherwallet is safe ! 100 %, just don't give your private key to anyone, and just be aware that there is a lot of phishing sites out there, always make sure to check the site name before entering your private key.
safe and not MEW it depends on us maintaining our private key and it is not easy to give private key to suspicious sites so thieves and hackers can track it may be careful and see what is related to our MEW because myetherwallet safe it depends on us who use
How many times someone will open new topic to ask is it safe to use myetherwallet?
It is safe, no one can steal your funds unless you sign in with your private key to one of the phishing sites, but that has nothing to do with MEW. Just don't click fake mew links you get from slack, email and so on, bookmark MEW and you will be fine.
What it happens is that many people have terrible surfing habits, it is like having bad eating habits sooner or later you are going to pay for those habits and the same happens when you surf the web, people are used to click everything they see and this is simply incorrect and that is why we see many threads every week of someone that lost their coins because of a mistake they made.It is safe, no one can steal your funds unless you sign in with your private key to one of the phishing sites, but that has nothing to do with MEW.

You have a point, however they could also do something about it, and I am talking about a simple thing such as buying a much shorter domain name such as MEWW.io or stuff like that, and redirect there any access to myetherwallet.com. From 12 to 4 characters makes it less likely for people to enter the wrong address or click on something like myetharwallet or myetherwaIlet.
With all the threads that we read of this lost coins maybe by that time we're all vigilant by all these click baits. And to avoid clicking these phishing sites just bookmark the official MEW once you've used it. That's it. Having mistakes are normal as we're just humans but commiting the same mistake again it's not tolerable as you're the one whose responsible for all of it. Just a presence of mind will do here.

for me that safe, just suggedt to access your account dont use the private key, that urgent maybe u laptop have virus or keyloger when u paste ur private key, keyloger can see that, better user JSON file + using password i think that very safe,
even they know ur password theycant access it coz they dont have ur JSON file

Myetherwallet looking at it is a bit safe but sometimes wondering how they do hack-in wallet and made away someone token if is that safe. but in nutshell securing the private keys is most important thing one can do 
.

Myetherwallet for me is safer than any other web wallets, you have the private key and you can easily get your wallet wherever you are. I know that hardware wallets are better and they are more safe but for me what's convenient is I can have access to my wallet wherever and whenever I want to. And also I don't want to bring something on my backpack that holds a lot of money in crypto except my savings card and other financial cards that I can have an access to if there's a need.

If you want the safest wallet. I'd like to recommend you the hardware wallet such as ledger or trezor. But it's quietly expensive. If you can afford it, then you must try it rather than the other online wallet.

Randomly type something?
You think it's really that easy to get someone's private key stolen or be put over there?
That way, even Bitcoin possesses danger because there are some websites which leaked private keys of billions of addresses, but if you decide to find one with some balance in any of these, I guess you will need luck and power of light years to get one.
There are many users who are using MEW and are satisfied with the service including me, at least they are not like many other wallets that don't even give you the possession of your private key as well as don't support ERC20 tokens.
Do you think MyEtherWallet is safe ?
Yes, I've been using myetherwallet for years and I can say this is the best web wallet that I have the private keys on hold and it's really convenient to use.

If you feel unsafe with the private key feature of it try to get yourself a ledger nano S and try to guess those words of others wallet if you can get it right.
I don't think someone can guess others private keys that way, it's very safe for me it's a good security to keep our ETH and other erc20 tokens there.
