Windows Form, how to await for user input in a constructor.

I have the following code for my MainForm

public partial class MainForm : Form
{
    public Client ActiveClient { get; }

    public MainForm()
    {
        LoginForm login = new LoginForm();
        this.Hide();
        login.Activate();

        //ActiveClient = await login.GetClient(); //GetClient() is not a real function in my code

        InitializeComponent();
    }
}

public partial class MainForm : Form
{
    public Client ActiveClient { get; }

    public MainForm()
    {
        LoginForm login = new LoginForm();
        this.Hide();
        login.Activate();

        //ActiveClient = await login.GetClient(); //GetClient() is not a real function in my code

        InitializeComponent();
    }
}

This is what my LoginCode looks like

public async Task LogIn(string username, string password)
    {
        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(username)) { MessageBox.Show("Please enter a username"); return; }
        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(password)) { MessageBox.Show("Please enter a password"); return; }

        Task<User.PassCode> passTask = User.PassCode.EncodeAsync(password);
        User.PassCode pass = await passTask;
        this.UseWaitCursor = true;

        Client? client = await Client.Authenticate(User.ID.Parse(username), pass);

        if (client == null)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("Incorrect Username or Password");
            return;
        }

        this.Hide();
        this.UseWaitCursor= false;
        //new MainForm(client).MainForm_Load();
    }

public async Task LogIn(string username, string password)
    {
        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(username)) { MessageBox.Show("Please enter a username"); return; }
        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(password)) { MessageBox.Show("Please enter a password"); return; }

        Task<User.PassCode> passTask = User.PassCode.EncodeAsync(password);
        User.PassCode pass = await passTask;
        this.UseWaitCursor = true;

        Client? client = await Client.Authenticate(User.ID.Parse(username), pass);

        if (client == null)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("Incorrect Username or Password");
            return;
        }

        this.Hide();
        this.UseWaitCursor= false;
        //new MainForm(client).MainForm_Load();
    }

This gets called when the login button is pressed. Is there a nice way to get the Client from my LoginForm? Any ideas? Am I missing something really simple or is this not possible the way I set it up?
