bump for this. To clarify, "To view your holdings at anytime go to myetherwallet and click view wallet info. You will then be prompted to open your wallet file from your PC and use the password you chose for your wallet." - it doesn't ask for a password, so I'm assuming if the json file is compromised, you're fucked?
EDIT
Ok I think I must have downloaded the wrong json file - there's one at the bottom that's unencrypted. Just tried again by generating a new wallet, and the encrypted json file works as I'd expect, asking for a password
