Each SVG is 16 × 16 with fill="currentColor". Keep it at 16 px or an exact multiple (32, 48) on whole pixels: a fractional size or position blurs it. The snippets are decorative (aria-hidden). For an icon that carries meaning on its own, such as an icon-only button, label the button, or give the SVG role="img" and an aria-label. More in how to use.

Meaning

Use it for

key, credential, access, credentials, password, access control, grant access

Alternatives

key-horizontal: the horizontal key, when the product picks the horizontal credentials set
input-password: a password field or PIN entry
user-key: a passkey or a user's credentials
key-code: an API key or access token

Also fits

two factor authentication: a password or a credential (password)
key file: a credential or password without a file (credential)
passkey: a key or credential in general
user credentials: a credential not tied to a person (key owns credential)

Not for

license (use certificate): the key motif does not mean license
password field (use input-password): the key motif does not mean password-field
api key (use key-code): a bare key means a credential; API key is key + </>
security key (use security-key): a credential in general
security (use shield): the key motif does not mean security

Tags

password, access, credential
