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

Offline MEW is better than all of the above method because there is no chance of exposing your private keys to the internet. This reduces your risk upto a greater extent. But main disadvantage of cold storage is you can't access them frequently. So if you had to choose from the archive options then I would go with metamesk. If that isn't available them JSON keystore file.

Metamask is more usefull for use mew but you should keystore to access your account in safe. Private key is so dangerous to login your account.
Also you should use more than 1 accounts to reduce the risk of stole.

I use private key. The safest thing is you do not haphazardly click on a link you do not know, that's the most secure

My ether wallet in shortly (MEW) is a favourite wallet for altcoins. It has a great security system. It provides private key for securing. Private key is the best security system for my ether wallet.

For myetherwallet security I suggest use metamask but if you are a mobile user you can use keystore. I'm using keystore file in opening my wallet because keystore file is very easy to use that is the advantage. Don't ever login using your private key because there are thousands of hacker out their. Be safe and research more about this.

I never use private key and I not recommend to access your MEW with private key.
I just use Keystone File and I think is best and safest for me and I combine with metamask.

The most important thing is to save the private key and bookmark the MEW address to avoid fishing.
but many suggest connecting to metamask. everyone can choose the best.

1. Metamesk: This is better because you aren't exposing any private keys.
2. Keystore: Next best option because of password protection though it possess same kind of risks of entering private key.
3. Private key: Not at all a recommend method to access wallet.

i think keystone files is the right way to protect your myetherwallet but its also necessary to save the private key some way saved in case you lose the keystone file.

I use Metamask, too. But are the funds really safe when I´m storing them in longterm, is it not like a hot-/online-wallet?

Actually I use 2 Metamask-accounts, 1. for buying/selling, 2. for storage.

I was interested in possible cases of hacking a secret key by selecting code using various programs for this. Neither in this topic. nor the similar ones that are available on this forum I've never heard that a secret key can be hacked. Proceeding from this, I conclude that the MyEtherWallet wallet is quite reliable and you just have to follow the precautions when using it.

I recommended using Keystone/JSON File. Make sure pay attention
1. Safe your Keystone file in Computer that has antivirus up to date.
2. Back up your Keystone file, with archiving it into .rar file and protected with password then safe it on another media storage(for backup). I do using this because virus are difficult to broken/infected .rar file. Besides, MyEtherWallet doesn't have any backup about your file, so if you losing it or was broken by virus its very risky.
3. Open MEW from browser with type the url, myetherwallet , don't falling into phising link.
4. Nothing 100% secured system, but at least you have 99% control your wallet in secure.

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

There is no safest method of using myetherwallet. If you expose any of those to an unauthorized user, you'll lose your tokens. Simple as that. All 3 methods are great ways to access your tokens through MEW and are safe to use as long as you keep them secured.

Most would probably say a hardware key like Ledger, but besides that then it's definitely MetaMask. I use to use the private key but that means storing it somewhere so you can copy and paste. At least MetaMask is behind a password wall so that helps. Besides that... it makes using MEW much more seamless. I highly recommend it (I just wish I could delete the default account in MetaMask.)

Definitely Metamask. Use the key phrases and your Metamask password to login to the browser addon. then log into MEW with Metamask.

Whilst the key file and private key is perfectly fine if your computer is not compromised, the problem is most people dont know if their computers are compromised...

Better using Metamask while login to Myetherwallet. Private key is to risky.
You can use private key as long as your computer clean from any malware or keylogger.

all that is safe, but it can also turn unsafe if :
1. you are not careful in entering data into a website that actually is phishing, so your account can be accessed by others
2. make sure the device you use to login MEW is protected from viruses, if the device you use has a lot of viruses it could cause your account is not secure

Many use Metamask to get into Myetherwallet. you should try it. more quickly and safely in my opinion.
