You can create an Ethereum address or import a Private Key from, for example, <a href=\"\/wallets\/online-wallets\/what-is-myetherwallet-mew\/\">MyEtherWallet<\/a> on Metamask. It is much safer than logging into MyEtherWallet via your JSON file or Private Key, because you limit the risk of phishing.<\/p><p><em><strong>For the experts;<\/strong> MetaMask is an extension for accessing Ethereum-enabled distributed applications or \u201cDapps\u201d in the regular Chrome browser. The extension injects the Ethereum web3 API into the JavaScript context of any website so that dapps can read from the blockchain. MetaMask allows the user to create and manage their own identities, so when a Dapp wants to execute a transaction and write it to the blockchain, the user is given a secure interface to review the transaction before approving or rejecting it.<\/em><\/p><p><em>Because it adds functionality to the normal browser context, MetaMask needs the permission to read and write to any web page. One can always view \u201cthe source\u201d of MetaMask as one uses a Chrome extension.
