It’s because you pass new form instance. Validation occurs on is_valid call.

So, just remove form = AuthenticationForm(request) in else block:

def firewall_login(request, *args, **kwargs):
    if request.method == "POST":
        form = AuthenticationForm(request, data=request.POST)
        username = request.POST['username']
        password = request.POST['password']
        if form.is_valid():
            fw_username = form.cleaned_data['username']
            fw_password = form.cleaned_data['password']
            user = authenticate(username=fw_username, password=fw_password)
            if user is not None:
                if user.is_active:
                    login(request, user)
                    logger.info("User '%s' logged in." % fw_username)
                    return HttpResponseRedirect("/accounts/profile/")
                else:
                    logger.info("User '%s' tried to log in to disabled account." % fw_username)
                    return HttpResponseRedirect("/accounts/disabled/")
        else:
            logger.info("User '%s' tried to log in with password '%s'." % (username, password))
    else:
        form = AuthenticationForm()   # Display unbound form
    return render(request, "registration/login.html", {"form": form,})
