If you have significant crypto assets, like a paycheck or more, I'd suggest using a hardware wallet to access MEW. Just make sure to buy from the manufacturer, too many stories going around of third-party retailers scamming people.
I believe the safest one is the keystore file. Though all of them are safe it's just their vulnerability to hackers have different levels of difficulty. Just be cautious on the websites you're visiting to avoid the risk og getting hacked.

Actually all three of them I think safe even more so if you have instilled security in your browser. so, basically I think. security issues, we ourselves must create, be it prevention on the PC and the browser itself. always try to use a good antivirus and internet security.
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.
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.
My etherwallet has a wide range of security options to offer. Users have a great deal of flexibility when it comes to how they can access their wallets.your account is secured with a password and a private key, which is generated upon opening an account. It’s highly recommended that you make a backup of your private key. Whatever you do, don’t store this sensitive information on your computer. Instead, consider paper or a secure external device.
Currently, logging into MEW via private keys and JSON files has not been recommended because many phishing sites use MEW to steal user information. For security reasons, you should connect with a hardware wallet or metamask to secure your login with MEW wallet. Do bookmark websites to avoid visiting counterfeit websites.
Bitcoin is a crypto currency and well known as digital money, which many hackers are interesting into, instead for them to work, rather stilling and we need extremely careful in the sense that, we need to applied strong password.
if we use myetherwallet to store eth we should we avoid the use of passkey directly because it could be known by others if we get the phishing so better use metamask to go to mew
The MyetherWallet private key are only generate once, and it can not be change after it has been created private key login, and that is more reason why it most been saved at a good place.

Logging in using keystore/json file is not a recommended action to access your MyEtherWallet,using json file is the same as entering your private key, if you want only to view your token balances and recent transaction use
ETH (https://etherscan.io)
Tokens (Ethplorer.io)
Use metamask and transfer all your balance in that browser extension. Here's how

private key. i usually use private key, thats doing for lone time. but the thing is you have to keep that private key is a safe place. if its stolen your funds will lost. print the paper and keep
I think the safest way to use MEW is through Keystore / JSON file, or MetaMask / Mist. I really hope that very soon this wallet will make the most secure, although this wallet will still be a tidbit for hackers and scammers.

The best think you can do is store the coins in a hardware wallet like Nano S.
About MEW, the best is Metamask, of course and the worst is private key.

I think using metamask is the safest way, because login with metamask does not keep our private key disturbed. Keystone File is also safe for us to enter in MEW, but it is possible to be deleted. It would be nice to backup all the data.
The best and safest way to login MyEtherWallet is to use Keystore File/Json file to login. Keystore file is very highly encrypted and its very hard to decrypt it requires password to decrypt and always check the url before putting any key and login through private key is the most dangerous way to login MEW.
based on experience, open MEW more securely on the web and official websites. if you can recommend using Metamask because not every MEW is safe, as long as we are careful and always cautious with using good security in my opinion will avoid piracy
