There is this * in the password field of the shadow file for certain

I know that the ! is to indicate a locked account but what does a * mean?
My understanding is that anything in that field that is not a valid
encrypted password means the account is disabled. I believe that '!!'
and '*' are simply 2 different conventions indicating the same thing.
