If I set up a wallet on MEW, and don't go on sketchy phishing sites where someone can access my computer, are my tokens safe? At least safer than an exchange?

make sure you select a random, arbitrary password like 3463hdajsbfckjsrho8urj because I think the key MEW generates is based on that

Meaning if someone could brute force your password (i.e., if you password was "carpet"), they could brute force the key? Guess I am not following.
