How to change the height of a NSTextField?

Question

I am trying to change the height of a NSTextField for a macOS application.

How can I change the height of my NSTextField and have the text centered vertically like a normal UITextField on iOS. I added a height constraint to try and make it bigger and nothing will change.

class LoginVC: NSViewController {

@IBOutlet weak var emailField: TF!
@IBOutlet weak var passwordField: STF!

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    emailField.usesSingleLineMode = true
    emailField.placeholderAttributedString = NSAttributedString(string: "Email", attributes: [NSForegroundColorAttributeName: NSColor.lightGray, NSFontAttributeName: NSFont(name: "Menlo", size: 20)!])
    emailField.alignment = .center

    passwordField.usesSingleLineMode = true
    passwordField.placeholderAttributedString = NSAttributedString(string: "Password", attributes: [NSForegroundColorAttributeName: NSColor.lightGray, NSFontAttributeName: NSFont(name: "Menlo", size: 20)!])
    passwordField.alignment = .center
}

override func viewWillAppear() {
    super.viewWillAppear()

    view.layer?.backgroundColor = EYE_GREY.cgColor
}

}
