This is gonna be good but it's too complicated to update our wallet.
I'm okay with using MEW via google chrome MEW extension, it's very good and easy to use.
Every time you want to login, you just have to enter the password and you can view or send ETH from there.
Hi,
Well, it's not that complicated and I guess most people aren't doing transactions that often - a hardware-wallet would be easier but using Metamask/MEW-Extension etc. is still vulnerable to malware.
And for checking your balance you don't have to log in - just use ethplorer or etherscan or log in using your public key (view only) instead.
Due to the fact that there are enough methods infecting you even with a 'normal' surfing-behavior and your AV will most likely be useless I'd better be careful - at least if I'm storing larger equivalents of money.
To log in to MEW just using your public key go to
https://www.myetherwallet.com/#view-wallet-info and select 'View w/ Address Only' as authentication method and enter your public key instead of your private-key.
