Not sure if that explains what does not make sense to you? (Both the details of AuthenticationForm and the fact that the first positional argument to the base Form class has the keyword 'data' could probably use a bit more explicit documentation, unless I'm missing where these things are currently covered...I couldn't find them in a brief search.)
