Django form is not showing

I want to create a simple html login form with django forms, but whenever I run the server the form does not show, only a button.

This is what I have in my forms.py file

from django import forms

class LogForm(forms.Form):
    email = forms.CharField(label='email')
    psword = forms.CharField(label='pasword')

Then in views.py

     from django.shortcuts import render
     from django.http import HttpResponse
     from blog.forms import LogForm

     def get_info(request):
       form = LogForm()
       return render(request, 'login.html', {'form': form})

And finally in login.html

  <h1>LOGIN PAGE!</h1>

    <form method="POST">
        {% csrf_token %}
        {{ form }}
        <input type="submit" value="Submit">
    </form>

And the only thing that shows is this

View of the webpage with only the sumbit button

Thanks for the help

You can use a FormView

forms.py

from django import forms

class LogForm(forms.Form):
    email = forms.CharField(label='email')
    psword = forms.CharField(label='pasword')

views.py

from myapp.forms import LogForm
from django.views.generic.edit import FormView

class LogView(FormView):
    template_name = 'login.html'
    form_class = LogForm
    success_url = '/ /'

    def form_valid(self, form):
        # This method is called when valid form data has been POSTed.
        # It should return an HttpResponse.           
        return super().form_valid(form)

login.html

<form method="post">{% csrf_token %}
    {{ form.as_p }}
    <input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

Note if you are writing a custom view you can use this method, read more about this in the documentation

Django also has ready packaged views for authentication that you can use. You can read more about that here
