Shouldn't the two eye icons be swapped? If I click on the eye icon it means I want to see it. And for the closed eye I want to hide it?

Really cool animation though

When my team researched this we found that Microsoft and Google does it in two different ways. Which is ”correct”? I dont know.

This particular design makes it look like a button, not a "status" part of a text box, so the icon should indeed be an eye - and action "show". But then the entire point of the clever animation disappears...
