I think if you are not using or dont have metamask, endeavour to triple check your URL link and see it is the correct one before inputting your private key so that you don't get phished by hackers or scammers. Stay safe.
Myetherwallet is an open source web wallet. The application is convenient and simple. The only thing to note is that the computer browser you are using is safe, avoid being phished, get your key, and be stolen.
in my opinion, the obvious answer, the safest way to use MEW is to use Metamask
I have and Myetherwallet , Metamask . They are good for storing ether and tokens. Security at a good level and convenient to use. The keys should be stored on a USB flash drive and written on paper. Also everyone advises cold wallets. The choice is yours, they do not save on security.

I use private key and i have never been hacked. My suggestion to you that that ypu remove some characters that you feel you n easily remember from your private key, save it somewhere you can easily copy it from and add the characters whenever you want to use it.
Using Keystore file and Private key are not recommended. The best way is use Ledger wallet which will protect you from phishing, malware, and more
What is the safest way to log MEW among of these?
1.Keystone File
2.Private Key
3.Connecting Metamask.

Using Keystore, not recommended because if you get phished, your keystore can uploaded to the hackers place.
using private key, the worst method. Again, you can be phished and submit the private key to them.
using metamask is the safest option here.
Metamask is very safe I think, of course it's safer than Private Key, that's the worst option according to possibilities of hackers, it's so easy to steal it from you.
I always enter My Ether Wallet using Keystone File. And never keep the data to enter the wallet on the computer, then the security is guaranteed
I know that it is safer to connect via Metamask, but I still use private key via bookmarks. I want to level up in my security level and due to this reason I am going to buy Ledger.
I would recommend that you use Keystone File, since this way of entering your wallet is the most secure and the probability of hacking your wallet with this method of entry is minimal.
Id we want to Simple metode to enter myetherwallet of course we use private key, and if we want to more save we can use metamask, itu ia just our opinion but you can use other methode saver to enter myetherwallet

Connecting Metamask is like a second layer for MEW, preventing yourself from entering wrong site. Keystore is said to be safer than private key, but it still depends. If your keystore file is stolen, one would still need a password before decrypting your public key. If your private key revealed to other, they can use it however they like. It would be better to use keystore for daily use and private key when keystore files went missing.
Among those three i think connecting metamask is the safest because it add security layer for your wallet, Myetherwallet itself is safe though, most of the problem with hacks is the fault of people themselves because they are careless and not double check the url again before using their private key and access the wallet, if you are careful then you should be fine.
i used to do unlocking by keystore/ json file and i feel that was safest way to log in. i never faced any problem while using this.
which is the safest way to store the coins? All ways are his in their own way. I prefer the security key method and the metamask method just gives you over protection. So it's all good. Myether wallet is one of the safest wallet.
I have been using MyEtherWallet for more than a year or so and I have been logging in with private key. But, I haven't had any issues. In my opinion, the safest option to log in with is either using keystone file or metamask.
