30164	Changing attributes in the default Authentication Form	Oskar Haller	nobody	"The following code works

{{{
class LoginForm(AuthenticationForm):
    """"""
    adds helptext to authentication
    """"""
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(LoginForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.fields['username'].help_text = _(""Enter your E-Mail address"")
        self.fields['password'].help_text = _(""Enter your password"")
}}}

However, from this documentation [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/topics/forms/modelforms/#modelforms-overriding-default-fields] I would have guessed that I could simply specify those elements with a MetaClass. But that did not work. 

Is that a bug or just something I'm not aware of?"	Bug	new	Uncategorized	2.1	Normal		Authentication Form		Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
