Hiya Matt, As you already noticed yourself there are lots of different possible approaches to what you're talking about.
But it depends on where/how the form is getting to the page. How are you rendering the form? Are you using `forms.Form`? Do you mean "user's credentials" from `django.contrib.auth`?
