if you are in doubt with myetherwallet, use wallet hardware ..
safer and you can not crisis the trust
everything in your control

Yes you are right not only you, we also using MEW but never faced any problem with myetherwallet. So it always good to track you coin but checking them through etherscan.io.

Hope this is the right section, I already posted this question but I think it’s been deleted from altcoins section.

I set up a wallet on my ether wallet and then did it again, I can use the one that opens when I connect my ledger no problem but I’m worried the password and key I have written down may be for the first one?

I don’t want to xfer my funds till I know I have the right key and password for obvious reasons.

How can I check? Or do I create new wallet and keep password and key, but if I do that how do I know I’m accessing the most recent one created and not one of the older ones.

Sorry if I sound daft, I don’t really know how this site works 😂

see the most important thing is that just secure your private keys... what you will do is that, wen you create a new wallet what you have to do is that you will copy the private keys and with the wallet save it as text to your MS word or you can save it x-were. after that you can create another one and also save the keys and wallet address x-were too. then if you want to transfer token, you easily transfers it the wallet which you created recent most or the other. but in all you have to be careful because any mistake made can warrant in loosing of your tokens and make sure nobodies knows about your private keys.

You can identify whether you are opening up the wallet you had previously created or one that you created recently by noticing your ether address.
Each wallet should have different ethereum address for receiving coins. Just open all of your wallets one by one and note down ether address for remembrance. Once you find out your primary wallet, save its backup and forget others so that you will not get confused in future

Thanks for the reply mate. How can I open both wallets? When I connect to ledger on myether wallet I get a pop up with 5 or 6 ether addresses. One shows my ether coins from the ones I put in my ledger via the chrome app. The others I don’t know what they are.

If I create a new wallet will it be added to that list? Then I just put my tokens to that address and il have the password and key for tha address and ignore the rest?

I probably sound daft I just down understand how this site works. Thanks again

I don’t need to enter anything to unlock the wallet, I just plug in the Nano s and enter my pin and I’m in. Because I set up 2 “new wallets” I don’t know which one I’m logging into. I’ve searched the internet and I can’t see this problem anywhere, someone must have made 2?

Either that or it’s not an issue and I’m 100% logging into the 2nd one. I want to set up a new wallet, save key and password, but how do I know it’ll be that one I log into?

This is probably a stupid question but I don’t want to send funds till I know and I’m not comfortable with my tokens being on an exchange.

Any ideas anyone?

Did you write down passwords for both? You need password and private key to unlock the wallet. Does this help at all?

If you could figure out what wallet your coins are in and if you decide you want to use the other wallet - then you can just send the coins to the other wallet and connect to it from the Ledger. Obviously connecting to it first would be a good idea.
