I was just wondering if it is strictly necessary to override this method, as it appears it would default to the class property of form_class which has already been set as AuthenticationForm?
I guess it would protect against other form_class arguments being passed into the view, since you require them to be none, but thinking about this, you would end up returning the form class passed as an argument, which would then cause an error if the first argument was not expected to be a request.
The view seems to work fine without the get_form class method overridden.
