lock icon
Encrypted connection indicator
A lock icon is a small padlock symbol displayed in web browsers to indicate a secure, encrypted connection between the user and a website.
It typically appears in or near the address bar when visiting sites using HTTPS protocol: Look for the lock icon before entering your credit card information.
The icon's presence suggests—though doesn't guarantee—that transmitted data is protected from interception.
