In response to your comment on the other answer. You can subclass the the Authentication form.

from django import forms
from django.contrib.auth.forms import AuthenticationForm
from django.forms.widgets import PasswordInput, TextInput

class PlaceholderAuthForm(AuthenticationForm):
    username = forms.CharField(widget=TextInput(attrs={'placeholder': 'Email'}))
    password = forms.CharField(widget=PasswordInput(attrs={'placeholder':'Password'}))

or see the other function that was put in this question. --> How can I override the django AuthenticationForm input css class?
