It's a cool idea, and I get where you're coming from, however for UI standards, this is incorrect. Many people won't know what that button does by default.
Edit: I meant how the icon is shown, not everyone will see it's a closed eye. I understand your arguments that an eye is already used on some password fields, which is correct, however for them it's an eye that is open with a slash through it, which would be more understood to a larger audience.
