Layout Group and Input Field size

I'm build a login screen in mobile, using vertical layout group for the UI elements. As can be seen in the input image I attached, the Input Field is not resized by the layout group, being stuck in the "minimum size" even if I try to stretch it.

I have found a way to do it by adding a Layout Element component and checking Ignore Layout, but it feels like a workaround instead of the right way to do it. Am I right to it this way or is there a "correct" way of doing this?

The fact that if try to add a new Input Field (for the password in this case), it will be placed at the same height instead of below it and I need to manually set its height reinforces the idea to me that I'm missing something when using input fields with a layout group.
