How to change label text of the ActiveField?

I have created new Yii2 basic project and want to dig in.

There is a Username field on login page: enter image description here

I want to change label 'Username' to a custom one, e.g. 'My superb label'. I have read the manual: http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/yii-widgets-activefield.html

After investigating a little I've got the next result: enter image description here

I have changed only template and it has changed the layout: 

<?= $form->field($model, 'username', [
    "template" => "<label> My superb label </label>\n{input}\n{hint}\n{error}"
])?>

How to change the text of the label in a correct way? What is best practice?

You can also add such function to model:

public function attributeLabels()
{
    return [
        'username' => 'My Login',
        'password' => 'My Pasword',
        'rememberMe' => 'Remember Me, please',
    ];
}

Okay, just override attributeLabels in LoginForm.php:

/**
 * Returns the attribute labels.
 *
 * See Model class for more details
 *  
 * @return array attribute labels (name => label).
 */
public function attributeLabels()
{
    return [
        'username' => 'Логин',
        'password' => 'Пароль',
    ];
}
