Possibly this is a silly ?

I've always wondered what that little (almost looks like an eye) thing is that pops up

on the far right side of my password box the moment I start typing in my password?

I mean with so many privacy concerns these days, Is this something that should

concern me? Thank you for any insight as I am relatively new at this.
