Always ensure that you are on the official MyEtherWallet website and be cautious about phishing attempts. Keep your private keys, keystore files, and mnemonic phrases secure, and never share them with anyone. If you encounter any issues or have specific questions, refer to the official MEW documentation or support resources for assistance.
