Re: Why does Django say my login form is invalid? How can I find out why Django thinks it is?

What would I need to change? 

I tried changing the ...

fields= ("username",)

... to ...

fields= ("username","email",)

or...

fields= ("email",)

Nothing seemed to change. the `login_form.is_valid()` still is `False`.

Sorry if the question is dumb, I'm still learning Django thru working with it.

Try not using fields at all, that will use the fields in AuthenticationForm

If you use "fields = ("username")" you are restricting the fields to just that field, and the authentication form needs also password to be valid
