What is the safest way to log MEW among of these?
1.Keystone File
2.Private Key
3.Connecting Metamask.

Any of these type of wallets will be secured when you use it with metamask extension that will serve as an extra layer or protection with your wallet,because metamask extension will encrypt the private keys of your wallet when you are trading with DEX like etherdelta,which are prone to these hackers so you dont need to worry about your wallet because it is secured.

I am using jstore pr json file together with metamask,and so far i dont really encounter hacks from my wallet because metamask extension will prevent these phishing sites to get your private keys when you are transaction with some erc20 token exchanges like etherdelta and yobit.My private keys are being encrypted inside the metamask that is why i dont have any doubts using this fantastic extension.

For me i used private key, because its easy to use. its safe as long as you keep it properly. and most important thing is you have a back up file of your private key.

I am using keystone/json file to protect my wallet from these malwares,i usuall store these file in offline storage like in usb.Using metamask extension will protect your private keys when you are doing transcations with these decentralized exchange like etherdelta the metamask will work as an added protection because your keys will be encrypted inside metamask even if there is a phishing sites who wants to get your keys.

I think the best way is to use the keystone file. As much as you can, you should protect your private key. One way to protect it is to actually just keep it and hinder yourself from entering it to open your wallet, There are instances of fake websites that gathers private keys and transfer funds.

You can use these three so you will sure that your coins are secured,because without JSON file there will be no chance to get into your wallet even if your computer was attacked by malwares,you can add your wallets to metamask extension if you are using dex or decentralized exchange because metamask will prevent these phishing sites to get your private keys,your private keys will remain encrypted to the metamask extension while you are doing transaction with these exchange giving you more peaceful trading experience,metamask is a legit extension for your private keys protection and it is being recommended by MEW itself to use this extension.

I usually use keystore file to log in on my mew. well, myetherwallet is safe though but im not recommending connecting it to metamask.
why use mew if you use metamask?

I will choose keystore file to secure MEW from your options. However IMO, using a hardware wallet with MEW is the most secure way.

Keystore file is the safest because it is encrypted with your password and nobody can use it without knowing your password. That is why it's more safer than private key

I think that Metamask is the safest way to access your wallet. Private key is the weakest option (you can input it at fishing site)

Mew itself will tell you that none of the option is save the safest is connecting hardware wallet to mew but if you can't afford to have an hardware wallet, do not expose your private key or click on a phishing mew site then you will be safe.

I prefer to login via Keystone File because from there you need json file to open your wallet and it is sure for the hackers will have trouble finding your file, so that can be safer to login in your MEW wallet.

The best thing to do is to have a json file + private keys wallet then put your wallet into metamask for more added security.Metamask will protect your private keys from being compromised by any phishing sites,it is the most powerful extension that aims to indetity these phishing sites.It is recommended by myetherwallet.com to be use together with their wallet.

I have personally used the last two methods of logging in to my etherwallet;private key and metamask methods respectively. The metamask method to me is safer than the private key because the metamask method help reduce the use of private key. I have not used the first method;keystone file. Thanks

First I had opened my wallet in MEW directly, because I thought that using MetaMask is complicated. After that I have decided to open a wallet and I can say that I like it. It is very simple to use. Therefore is my recommendation also Metamask.

The better for me is Private Key, its easy and fast to used But the important is never share a private key to someone else to avoid hacking, never click any site that you think is a phising site. To protect the private key, better to copy it on the safe way that your the only one can access to your account and must do to bookmark the site of myetherwallet. If you think that your not comfortable to used Private key, you can choose among the two its either Keystone File or Metamask

I choose Keystone File! Grin

Personally, I do this: 1) I add Myetherwallet to my browser tabs (I'm afraid of fishing)
2) I move Keystone Fillet to an empty USB flash drive
3) When I want to go into my wallet, I insert USB flash drive in my laptop... Cool

I use exactly the same method. I have several flash drives that are stored in a certain place. And before I go into the MEW, I check my computer for viruses
