The only thing you need to add a site to your bookmarks is to not accidentally go to a phishing site.

This is what new users don't do. They keep on using search engines like google and searching out myetherwallet through those platforms and ending up clicking those being advertised by google which is a phishing site. But bookmarking the real MEW will never lead you to a phishing, there is always a reminder on the website that bookmark them or else there's the risk that you can use the fake one.

People are committing the same mistakes all over and over again which even the MEW site itself do already have those cautions or prompt message that you should do bookmark and tell you out indications that you are accessing the true site. Hacked mew is really the fault of users side because we do have the full responsibility of our privatekeys or anyother important informations on accessing the wallet.Once it got compromised because of your carelessness then no one should really be blamed of.

Dumb mistakes for people to fall on phising or whatever attempt since there's so many warning had been posted by MEW to their site. And we can simply define the authenticity of the site by looking its URL so there's no excuse really for getting hack. But there's one thing really that we need to be careful with and that is placing our private key anywhere and clicking those appealing offers send via email since it can compromise us really.

That's what happening even though many of us here keep on warning a lot of newbies and even MEW themselves is very well aware of these phishing links and is giving warning that are highlighted on their website, still we are being ignored. Ignorance of the situation is really the fault of the users, it's not enough just to trust a website but they should also do their own assessment on how they can protect themselves with these phishers and other attackers that can stole their funds.

I'm long time user of MEW and never encounter such bad errors upon but their are times that I accidentally pasted my private key on public sheet and been hack for that and that is my careless mistake but aside from that nothing else I encounter such shady error on mew and I conclude that this wallet is so safe.

I think MEW are safe if you still see the mark of security in MEW, and if your smart saving and using the private key , you can also use offline MEW If you just want to simply look at the balance

Myether wallet is safe, because it was given unique password aside from the original password. However on the past months more accounts would be hacked due to unidentified reason, until now I cannot know what happen to my account because almost $3000 would vanished in split days. I already concerned it to the administrator but still not yet reply. Now I cannot used my MEW for the safety of my other coins, maybe if the amount lost in my account is back then that's the time I trust again into this wallet.

Hacker or now are too much intelligence because they can hacked my accounts without any knowing, So lesson learn to many users of MEW be alert and try to monitor your value in your account.

I've been using MEW for more than a year and I did not have any problems with this purse personally. Everything is simple, convenient and without any questions. The only thing you need to add a site to your bookmarks is to not accidentally go to a phishing site. As an alternative I can recommend the wallet JAXX.

Hello guys , I would like to ask this from more veteran people here if MEW or shall we say myetherwallet.com is safe or not..?
Some of my colleagues said that myetherwallet is not safe because there maybe some intruders with wide and depeest knowledge
When it comes to security bypass could get access of your account at myetherwallet? Please
Help me answer this if mew is safe or not.. Is this a user fault to expose their private key or there is.someone could really
Access our account .. using security bypass? Please thank you.

I would recommend myetherwallet. I do not believe their DEVS have access to account. They do not have access to your private key. They can't bypass the wallet security. I recommend it

This is a very popular wallet, it is used by a lot of people. I think that it is reliable enough and safe, but as we know it's possible to hack anything if there is a purpose and desire. The question is whether you have enough funds in there so that hackers are interested in trying to hack you.

myetherwallet is very safe ,but when transfering coins to another wallet is best you use your meta mask to connect to your MEW wallet , this is the best way to avoid google browsing history or other fishing site .

MEW is not safe if you don't take care of your private keys but as far as i know this decentralized wallet is very secure as long as your passwords and keys are saved in a device that no one has an access

Using mew is safe,just be careful because lot of hackers is creating mew copycat to steal someone's eth and tokens. Don't forget to bookmark legit links so you won't be phished of those phisher. I suggest you also to use imtoken app,when someone hack your mew,you could know it because every transaction has a notification.

MEW is not safe as an hardware wallets because computers can be compromised by the hackers then they can steal your funds from MEW so it is not fully secured,but it is very safe when we use it offline only go online when make transaction and MEW is the best wallet for storing tokens because there is no other wallets available which can support as much as MEW do.

MEW is really rock solid. But please do remember: there's nothing like too big to fail.
I think inside the dark room somewhere there are people trying so hard to breach it since it well known wallet.
So, just be careful down there.
The very safe is just setup your HW wallet or paper wallet at home. Or you can do it like Winklevoss twins, saving your private keys in chunks and store it in different vault Grin

Yeah right, myether is like a safety vault because no one can opened it aside from the owner's. Maybe due private key together with the password given by the owner that's why myether wallet is hard to hack by the hacker.

absolute safety. an ETH store and great erc20 alerts. So far, no one has been accused of stealing and stealing

It is because some people don't have much knowledge about how to keep track of investment into phishing websites. Even though many people are suggesting don't click any website without knowing and don't share your private key without knowing.

Here is the guide on how to use offline Myetherwallet

It is very safe, but nothing is bulletproof. So always be careful.
