Answer 1

In your urls.py file link to the built in Django login view, and pass in the path to a template you wish to use as the login page:

(r'^login/$', 'django.contrib.auth.views.login', {
    'template_name': 'myapp/login.html'
}),

And here is an example of what the template my look like (from the Django docs):

{% extends "mybase.html" %}

{% block content %}

    {% if form.errors %}
        
Your username and password didn't match. Please try again.
    {% endif %}

    

        {% csrf_token %}
        

            

                
{{ form.username.label_tag }}
                
{{ form.username }}
            
            

                
{{ form.password.label_tag }}
                
{{ form.password }}
            
       

       
       
   

{% endblock %}
