Secured Website

Recently I was asked to log into a website account. My question is, at the bottom of the browser, must have the padlock icon to determined its safe is it?
If dun have? That means can be easily hack? What do the padlock icon signify? -
means the website has a certificate from a Certificate Authority (eg verisign)
certificate is like "hey i am certified, i am secure, you can use me"
doubleclick on the padlock to view more info
