Open Padlock Icon

I see the padlock icon defined in a support article, but what does it mean when there is an open padlock icon at the top of my screen in the middle next to the time?

The open padlock icon on your screen means that you have unlocked the phone by either entering your passcode or by 2 factor authentication.

If there is a circle around the padlock, it means that orientation lock is active.
