I was seeing live youtube video of Aaron St. Hilaire just now and that guy unknowingly shared his myetherwallet private key to thousand of people live  and within minute all his token was stolen from his account

I am new and just want to know ,we login to myetherwallet using password and private key .If a hacker see the private key ,how without password he can login to his myetherwallet address and stole all tokens 
When the hacker gets your private key then he has now the control to your tokens and he can do whatever he want like sending it to another wallet address that he wish. Exposing it on live is something that only crazy people will do. That's a lesson learned from and don't tell anyone about your passwords and mostly with your private key if you want to save your tokens.

In mew the only thing you need to do is to keep your password and private keys secret to yourself alone in other to secure your token from being stolen from external body. You know with your keys all your token will missed if that is wrongly kept and be aware that only address that have private keys you can use in receiving of tokens.

Password for myetherwallet means you have access to an account already but it doesn't mean you own the account while the private key means you do not need the password but anyone who finds your JSON can access your wallet & Ether without the password.

Password is for to save your documents.  And private key actually the main key of an account.  You can access from any device to your account with this private key. so need to keep it up safe and not to share with others. If you share you will lose all of your money.

password is only protecting the file, thus private key. you can do anything with the private key.
