Form container in iOS Swift - UI Render Trace

Component - Form container

This UI component is a form container in an iOS app built with SwiftUI. It groups input fields and buttons inside a visually distinct box with padding and a border. This helps users focus on filling out the form clearly and comfortably.

The root is FormContainerView which contains a vertical stack (VStack). Inside the VStack are two input fields: a TextField for username and a SecureField for password.
