Well this should be comment but after giving margin:top you are giving margin:auto which is overriding the last one. So better you should use margin:top after the margin:auto and Use !important in only last case as it's not good practise.

.login-form {
  margin: auto;
  margin-top: 40%;
  width: 50%; }

first put the auto than margin-top:40%;

Just move the margin: auto above the margin-top: 40% so that the latter overrides the part of the former it relates to:

.login-form {
  margin: auto;
  margin-top: 40%;
  width: 50%;
}
