Do not create this functionality yourself but use the built-in Django auth views. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/topics/auth/default/#built-in-auth-views

The only thing you need to do is add the contrib auth urls to your project:

urlpatterns = [
    url('^', include('django.contrib.auth.urls')),
]

This gives you all views like login, logout, password reset etc.

If you want to customise the templates, copy the templates form /path/to/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/templates/registration/ to your app project/app/templates/registration/ and make any customisations
there.

If your app is listed before 'django.contrib.auth' in INSTALLED_APPS (it should always be like that) your custom templates will be picked first.
