Hello,
I would like to remove the labels in my sign-in form and just have
placeholders in the text fields. Its working for my sing up form but for
some reason not for my sign-in form. Below is my forms.py, my views.py, and
my models.py. I think its because I'm using Django's auth view for the
sign-in but have my own view for the sign up. I'm new to django and not
sure where the sign-in view is or how to change the form to use my
UserLoginForm. Thanks for your help
#forms.py
