You can use the built-in, attributedPlaceholder property of UITextField.

Like this:

    let passwordAttriburedString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: "Password")
    let asterix = NSAttributedString(string: "*", attributes: [.foregroundColor: UIColor.red])
    passwordAttriburedString.append(asterix)
            
    self.textField.attributedPlaceholder = passwordAttriburedString
