Mew refers to myetherwallet where we can get Eth address,private key,keystore file and so on. Here Eth/ERC-20 address is the most important part to ensure one's rewards,payment and make transactions or exchange with each other. In near past,we can easily open a wallet by typing this-https://vintage.myetherwallet.com where we can get private key easily. Also by doing copy-paste of private key we are easily access mew wallet. But now, that site- https://vintage.myetherwallet.com is automatically generated to this site- https://www.myetherwallet.com/ without my permission which is very disgustful. By entering this generated site,it doesn't show private key in front page where previous site- https://vintage.myetherwallet.com is shown private key perfectly.

The previous site in my point of view was far much simpler and easy to understand by a noob too. It now takes special skills to go through the home page. I got confused at first when I saw the new page for the first time.

I agree to someone like me who is still a beginner. The newest program from MEW is really very confusing, because I haven't checked this wallet in a long time and after that I want to make my wallet more confused and well inevitably I have to find information or videos to understand it. but it seems now security is very guaranteed maybe.

I have been using web version of myetherwallet for more than 3 years and I am comfortable with old and new version. The only difference is, with old version they were not altering when I try to access my eth and tokens using privatekey but now it keeps warning about "possible threats" on using privatekey on browser. This lead me to start using their mobile version.

Until some 2 months back, I was comfortable with their android mobile version but suddenly they showed a new version and when I opted to update, it went installing as a new app and I am still having old version as well. It is a strange way of updating an android app (usually when we update same app will get upgraded to new version but leading to have 2 apps, this is first time I am experiencing).

The wallet I have been using is "MEWconnect" but update led me to have another app namely "MEW wallet".

Anyone here using MEW's mobile version? They officially updated/released a new version in last 2/3 months? Any input will be helpful. Thanks for your time

I still prefer previous version of myetherwallet.But now i can't use it because when i try to enter the old site, it automatically goes to new site.When they developed the new site of myetherwallet, then you could still choose old myetherwallet.So it wasn’t bothering me back then.But now you can't do this now.But i think it is a just a habit.If you use new my etherwallet for long time, you will like the new version .

I think maybe the current version is better than before, because previously making MEW wallet is very easy and maybe it can be hacked, but at the current version of MEW it seems much more effective because there is a third party, to better secure personal data.

the current version of myetherwallet is pretty good and yes, we can still access privatekey with third-party applications metamask, mewcx, dapper and this is in my opinion better because with this feature maybe scammers who always make phishing sites that resemble myetherwallet stop, so this version I think is far better.

I agree, bro, because in this version it looks more difficult because of the third party let alone the first one to make it, but with the current version, I think the system from MEW will be tighter and safer though confusing but it's better than before

honestly I prefer the old version of Myetherwallet, on the one hand it looks simple and also not confusing to mengaskesnya. but Myetherwallet now looks fancy and it's quite confusing when I want to use it. for me the most important thing is wallet security.

I also preferred the old version, When i recently login with my wallet it is really confusing and difficult to use because your not familiar with it.
but still recommend for everyone to use myetherwallet for storing there altcoins it is safe. Try to use Trustwallet and connect your old account by entering your private key.

I felt the same way in the beginning, but after some time I think I like new version more than old one! I added
MEW CX too, and it's great extension, now you can check wallet easier, and you can open a wallet just with password,
so I am using that extension from recently.
If you didn't try MEW CX I suggest you to do so, it's similar with MetaMask, so if you know that extension you will
be just alright with MEW CX.

Yes, the previous version was far better than the current UI. The vintage version was very easy for everyone, even after the new version, people kept using the old version of MEW, because the recent version seems difficult!

I hate to say but I agree. It's not that I dont understand the process but using the vintage one is much simpler. I only like the part where there is an app now for mew but still I find useful those new wallet app such as trust wallet, imtoken, and enjin wallet. I am fond of using mew before but since of this upgrade I just stick to the new ones Ive mentioned. The only thing will be compared here is security which I think not an issue as trust wallet is very safe.

I believe MEW developers does not focus enough on the GUI part on the new version but most importantly on the upgrade Im sure its focused on a more secure settings to protect our ethereum assets from unknown intruders as of now I can easily use MEW whenever I need it to send eth or tokens to anyone, nothing is wrong.

No, the present version is far better than previous, it is more secure too! Though the first time it looks difficult to understand, but when you spend time and explore the new interface, then I am sure your mind will be changed. At first, I thought the previous version was easy, but now I love the new version!

I agree. In the first time I try the new version it seems very simple and plain but it's more secure than the previous one. The interface is confusing at first but they will familiar if they will always use it. The updated version will always better because the shortcomings with the previous version got fixed and more security and environment.

I dont see for it to be secure compared the older one but the new UI/UX is entirely on different feels and when it comes to accessibility then its way more better than the older one.

Its been a while when i dont tend to check out my wallets and when i do cameback to have some checks then this new or updated sites is way more better.

I dont know for some but most of people do say positive things towards such change.

I was always surprised how convenient the site became with every update. The flat design that is being used now gives me special visual pleasure.
Ergonomics and the user experience that I get from the site is always positive. I liked the previous version much less than the current one, which eliminated many shortcomings and improved a number of things.

Still, the technology of user interfaces is developing and, accordingly, site developers will keep up with the times trying to improve the user experience to the maximum.
Thanks to them for this. It is worth noting that they do not forget about those who are used to more conservative things in their thinking, thereby allowing them to use the outdated version.

The vintage version was very easy for everyone, even after the new version, people kept using the old version of MEW, because the recent version seems difficult! That's why Myetherwallet is losing many members because many people like me migrated into Trust wallet or metamask! The new interface of MEW and MEW connect seems confusing to many people!

It's not too complicated but I can see that they now have a password which encrypts your private key and no option to copy down your private key. You only have a password and keystore file which is sad as sometimes users need two things to access their wallet. The old one was like spoon feeding but still better. However, I am happy with their app making it more safe to access the wallet.

Same thoughts on first glimpse on the new interface of MEW.It might look complicated but it isnt really hard to understand even if you dont have that much technical skills or knowledge.

I do just missed out the old simple interface where you do simply put up your PK and your good to go but now on the current update you do have lots of options on where you can access
your MEW wallet.

I can say that this new one is much more better.

True, old version is very easy but lack of security issues new version is safest for all of the users. For many years, we use of old version so now seems to be difficult and confusing to use at the new version. We need to keep mind about safety than others issues.

If it's very difficult to access than you can see video guideline in youtube.

I used to like the old version of myetherwallet so simple and easily to navigate the tools you needed. I would like to know for those you downloaded the APP version, can you also connect your Mnemonic Phrase from the Device App to the web App?

Shit happens, Myetherwallet is not the only one that used to have issue from future updates, coinomi wallet did the same from time to time and sometimes older version performs better than newer upgrades, I think you should have patience or switch to other wallet till they role out another version of myetherwallet

this is what i also notice before , after they release the new version of mew . its hard to navigate the login page or the page where you can import your private keys but even before , mew does not recomend a private key but instead they suggest other options . i think is also the reason why they hide the private key option so that new users will try other methods to access thier accounts . anyway , have you tried thier mobile app ? maybe that is more easier to use .
