Depends on the kind of interface you get. If it's a command-line interface, you'll generally get the name of the distribution, the kernel version, and on a second line, a prompt for the username, and then upon entering the username, it will prompt for a password. (which is masked and you won't see any kind of output indicating the length of the password)
If it's graphical, it will be handled by the greeter of your distro's display manager.
