Try this:

NSAttributedString *strUser = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@"Username" attributes:@{ NSForegroundColorAttributeName : [UIColor whiteColor] }];
NSAttributedString *strPassword = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@"Password" attributes:@{ NSForegroundColorAttributeName : [UIColor whiteColor] }];

self.username.attributedPlaceholder = strUser;
self.password.attributedPlaceholder = strPassword;
