This feature is called "Password Reveal Button" or "Show Password Button".
You might have noticed that whenever you try to enter a password at
login screen or other places in Windows 8 and 8.1, the password field
shows a small icon at the right-side which looks like a human eye. If
you click and hold on this icon, you can see the actual password. This
eye icon is called password reveal button which replaces the asterisks
in password field with actual characters.
The same feature has also been implemented in Internet Explorer 10 and 11 versions which are already present in Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 respectively and can also be installed in Windows 7 and Server 2012 R2 operating systems. When you open a website in Internet Explorer 10 or 11 versions which requires you to enter a password such as Gmail, Hotmail, etc, Internet Explorer shows the same password reveal button in password field to show the actual characters of password.
It might sound a useful feature but many people don't like it. It might become a security risk if someone accidentally or intentionally clicks on the button when you are typing the password. The person will immediately know your password and you'll need to change your password even if you didn't want to change it.
If you don't like this feature and want to get rid of password reveal button, this tutorial will definitely help you.
