Assigning entry input into a text string without hitting enter/return/checkmark

Question

Is there a way to assign the entry input into a text string without the user hitting enter/return/checkmark?
I am having trouble with users not hitting the enter/return/checkmark before hitting the login button and therefore the loginemailaddress string is empty.
In this example Label3.Text is always null unless they hit the enter/return/checkmark on their keyboard after entering the email address.

 public partial class MainPage : ContentPage  
    {  
        string loginemailaddress;  
         
        public MainPage()  
        {  
            InitializeComponent();  
        }  
        public void Email_TextChanged(object sender, TextChangedEventArgs e)  
        {  
            loginemailaddress = e.NewTextValue;  
            loginemailaddress = loginemailaddress.ToLower();  
            Label1.Text = "1:" + loginemailaddress;  
        }  
        public void Email_Completed(object sender, EventArgs e)  
        {  
  
            loginemailaddress = ((Entry)sender).Text;  
            loginemailaddress = loginemailaddress.ToLower();  
            Label2.Text = "2:" + loginemailaddress;  
        }  
        
  
        private async void EnterButton_Clicked(object sender, EventArgs e)  
        {  
            Label3.Text = "3:" + loginemailaddress;  
  
        }  
          
    }

Hello,​

When the text in the Entry changes, the Email_TextChanged method executes. Here is InputView.TextChanged Event
You can add TextChanged="Email_TextChanged" for your <Entry> like following code. Then you click the Button, you can get the text without hitting enter/return/checkmark,

   <Entry x:Name="Emailaddress"  
                       Placeholder="emailaddress"  
                       PlaceholderColor="DimGray"  
                       ClearButtonVisibility="WhileEditing"  
                       TextChanged="Email_TextChanged"  
                       Keyboard="Email"  
                       Completed="Email_Completed"  
                       />
