Answer 1

For Android

mEditText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_VISIBLE_PASSWORD| TEXT_MULTILINE); 

TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_VISIBLE_PASSWORD - We use Password char as Text input for EditTest. It doesn't have emojis and email keys like .com and @ keys TEXT_MULTILINE - This will change the keyboard layout button [Done] or [->] to [Enter] key so we can use multi line text or new line feature.

In Xamarin Form

Create a CustomRender and in OnElementChanged method

protected override void OnElementChanged(ElementChangedEventArgs e)
        {
            base.OnElementChanged(e);

                if (Control != null)
                {
                    Control.ImeOptions = Android.Views.InputMethods.ImeAction.Done;
                    Control.InputType = Android.Text.InputTypes.ClassText | Android.Text.InputTypes.TextVariationVisiblePassword| Android.Text.InputTypes.TextFlagMultiLine;
                    Control.SetTypeface(Typeface.Default, TypefaceStyle.Normal);
                }
            }
