Answer 1

You can set a custom form as the authentication_form in your urls.py:

from django.urls import path
from django.contrib.auth import views
from profiles.forms import UserLoginForm

urlpatterns = [
    path('login/',
        views.LoginView.as_view(
            template_name="registration/login.html",
            authentication_form=UserLoginForm,
            ),
        name='login'
    ),
