But hovering to see the label is not intuitive at all

  It's not? The world of computers is filled with hovering for descriptions and details.

    It is but an input field is not really an element you would hover for more info. If additional info for the user is required, some question mark icon next to field does the job well because it yells 'hey! something might be confusing or not so obvious'. I might be an exception but can't recall a case when I would hover input field.

    Yeah but that doesn't make it a good idea.

  Delay-based UI is shitty UI. Do you have so little regard for your users that you think their time is free? Not to mention that hovering over text fields is not the norm, because they are fields and fields have labels. Hovering over buttons with cryptic icons? Maybe.

  Requiring users to hover to determine the context is a horrible UX. Tooltips/popup descriptions should only be used to provide additional information that isn't required.
