Xamarin.Forms Text Input Layout or Label Entry is a container control that allows you add a floating label, a password toggle icon to show or hide passwords, leading and trailing icons, and assistive labels such as error messages and help text on top of input controls.

Add a leading icon to indicate the input type, such as birth date, phone number, or password. Use a trailing icon to add a clear button, error icon, voice input icon, or drop-down icon.
Apply appealing colors to all the elements of the Text Input Layout control to match your app theme.
Customize the font family, font size, and font attributes for the hint text, error text, helper text, and counter label.
