Accepted Answer

The first argument to the `crispy` template tag is the name of the context variable where Crispy Forms expects the `Form` instance. So you need to somehow get a `Form` instance in your template context. If you were using this form in a view, you could do something like

```
def yourview(request):
    return TemplateResponse(request, "yourtemplate.html", {'form': LoginForm()})
```

If you want to have that form on many different pages, I'd suggest an inclusion tag:

```
@register.inclusion_tag('path/to/login_form.html')
def display_login_form():
    return {'form': LoginForm()}
```

And in your template:

```
{% load your_template_tags %}
{% display_login_form %}
```

(see also the usual setup procedure for custom template tags)
