As you can see from the iOS-API documentation for MonoTouch.UIKit.UITextField.AttributedPlaceholder , you can clearly see:

myLogin.AttributedPlaceholder = new NSAttributedString (
    "Enter your credentials",
    font: UIFont.FromName ("HoeflerText-Regular", 24.0f),
    foregroundColor: UIColor.Red,
    strokeWidth: 4 
);
