In my opinion, Keystone File and Metamask are the safest way to login MyEtherWallet. I have been doing with Keystone File and feel safe. It would be better to avoid private key option.

Connecting using metamask is better since you don't need to put your files/private keys

I personally always login to myetherwallet using private key, but must always make sure that the intended website is correct, and to more easily do bookmark myetherwallet website, and surely you will avoid phishing website

I will recommend you to use MetaMask to access your ETH or Token, because with MetaMask you do not have to copy and paste your private key, you just need to connect MetaMask and MEW when you want to send a token.

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

The best way from your list is Metamask, but the best way ever is hardware wallets like Trezor or Ledger Nano. Do not spare money and buy some hardware wallet.

Indeed, the very least safer on the three is Metamask but still hardware wallet will give you peace of mine especially when you're holding high Crypto Asset values.
I want to buy Ledger Nano S or Trezor, both of them are so popular and I want to keep my Assets secure as I am holding more than $45,000 worth of Assets today.

As of now I am using keystone file on accessing my wallet because I didn't yet buying hardware wallet to keep my Crypto more secure and safe.
Keystone isn't recommended when you are using public computer or device or old OS computer that's probably resided with viruses that will expose all your digital files and take your wallet keys.
Private key is just the same with keystone file I suppose.
Metamask is one of the slightly safer but again, don't use public computer and you must understand that your computer is virus free and secure because hijackers will steal your keys when you're going to copy and paste it between forms and applications.

I use a keystone as well but i'd recommend trezor or something like that if you want to be more secure.

Of course, common security things still aplly, like not going to suspicious sites, avoiding phishing links and so on.

This Three type of private code was acceptedly the safest to log MEW for our wallet but try to understand that if you accidentaly post it on a pubic was considered as your lost.Especially when you started to joined the compaigns because if you give your eth address you will never change it.And if the scenary that you post your private code in a public i will assure to you that it will be hacked.So keep your wallet key be safe always.

I don't recommend to login to MEW account using privatekey, so I will go for Keystore File for more safety.

Privatekey to me should be extremely private and unless there is just a huge need to use, should it be used. Also, the most important thing is to always keep your files safe because even if you end up using your keystore file and wrongly using it on a phishing site, that makes your account vulnerable, so at the end of it all, you also need to be extra careful in this case, but when compared to private key, it is still better.

The security of the wallet itself is quite high. But no one can give you a guarantee against your mistake, because thanks to social engineering you can be easy to manipulate. All the same I think that the purse itself is quite seriously protected.

If something does happen it is indeed the user's fault, most likely by entering details on a phishing site. MEW can only go so far trying to protect people from their own stupidity or lack of paying attention.

So far for me I have always been using private key, not that the other listed are not okay but that's how I have been taught just that one needs to make sure the Myetherwallet is secured and locked and very vigilant for any spam.

Connecting Metamask is the safest way to do so. In this way, you don't need to worry about losing your private key. You will be safe from these phishing scams if you use MEW with Metamask.
Before, I did not understand the whole point of this new project for MEW, But what does metamask really mean? So he can offend me from hacker attacks?

I would suggest #3, Connect it to Metamask, you can download the extension in your browser, then make an account, and of course save the necessary data, then IMPORT your private key from your Myetherwallet, Then once imported, you can open your MEW using the Metamask way of logging in, it is more safer coz  the private key is hidden, and you won't be nervous anymore when logging in to your account.  It is very much useful for me.

I recommend you use MetaMask for your security.
With MEW, you can access just with your Private Key so it very dangerous if anyone steal your PK, or some time you wrong and send your PK despite of address.
With MetaMask, you must access on your PC. And you should set up EAL extension for more secure your browser  Grin

Of the three options are all safe in my opinion, the best thing is how we should always pay attention to MEW link when logging in and do not click the unknown link
It is the best reminder to everyone that we should keep our wallet in a safe always.And be guided that we should pay attention for every action we take because once they hacked your wallet everything will be lost.If everything will be lost, your sacrifice and hardwork will be useless and only thing you can get and that is regret.
