You can't put HTML tags inside of your text fields, it's looking for plaintext. But you can use their hexadecimal values. This question already has an answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/q/19285640/1527252 — Sam, Oct 27 '17 at 09:40

try this in your login view

 $fieldOptions3 = [
        'options' => ['class' => 'form-group has-feedback'],
        'inputTemplate' => "{input}<span class='glyphicon glyphicon-lock form-control-feedback'></span>"
    ];
    <?= $form->field($model, 'password', $fieldOptions3)->label('Password')->passwordInput() ?>
