Unlock Alt

The unlock-alt icon represents an alternative unlock symbol, often used to indicate access or freedom from restrictions. This icon is commonly used in digital interfaces to signify the unlocking of features or content. The unlock-alt icon has become synonymous with permission and access control. In various digital platforms, this icon is used to denote the availability of restricted content.

In software applications and websites, the unlock-alt icon is frequently used to indicate that a user has gained access to a previously restricted area. For instance, in password-protected services, this icon might appear once the correct credentials are entered. Similarly, in e-commerce, it could signify that a user has successfully completed a purchase or achieved a certain status that grants them access to exclusive content.

From a user experience (UX) perspective, the unlock-alt icon effectively communicates the concept of gaining access or permission. It helps users understand that they can now interact with features or content that were previously inaccessible. This clarity enhances user engagement and satisfaction by providing a clear visual cue about their status and capabilities within an application or website.

Unlock Alt is one of 450 icons in Pixel Icon, made by HackerNoon and released under CC BY 4.0. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds UnlockAltIcon to components/icons/pixel-unlock-alt.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed UnlockAltIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Unlock Alt icon, or any of 450 Pixel Icon icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 24 × 24 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Unlock Alt", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. UnlockAltIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <UnlockAltIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes, with credit: CC BY 4.0 asks you to credit the author (HackerNoon) where you use the icons. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

Yes. CC BY 4.0 asks you to credit the author where you use the icons, for example "Icons by HackerNoon, CC BY 4.0" on an about or credits page.
