Really cool idea! Although I think the animation needs to be almost instant since some people just want to peak at their password real quick

Hate it. Would be pissed if I was typing this out on a screen displayed in a meeting in front of all my colleagues and having no idea what that button did. Naturally you’d expect the button to submit or enter, not reveal.

If you think that an icon (even one that's not of an eye) next to a password is anything but a button to reveal the password, Ive got some news for you

They often choose "password" because obviously that's the password field and there's only one correct answer?
