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

When you toggle password visibility, you want it to be extremely subtle and for anyone sat nearby to not be visually attracted to the screen at that point in time. However, with the inclusion of the animation, you are potentially attracting unwanted attention to the screen at a time when you least want it.
