Answer 1

In case if you want to have field name as a placeholder, you can use code below:

class LoginForm(forms.ModelForm):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(LoginForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        for k,v in self.fields.items():
            v.widget.attrs['placeholder'] = k.capitalize()
