How to make the login that is included in this project actually work?

This project starts off with a user login snippet in the Nav bar. We removed it in the project but after completing the course, I wanted to figure out how to re-add it and make it functional. I put it back in place like it was in the beginning of the video however, I am totally lost when it comes to getting it to work with wordpress.

Here was the snippet that was in located in the header of jumbotron.

      <form class="navbar-form navbar-right" role="form">
        <div class="form-group">
          <input type="text" placeholder="Email" class="form-control">
        </div>
        <div class="form-group">
          <input type="password" placeholder="Password" class="form-control">
        </div>
        <button type="submit" class="btn btn-success">Sign in</button>
      </form>

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You would probably need to use the wp_loginout() function to echo out the WordPress login box. Then you could custom with CSS or use the functions.php code mentioned here to modify how you need:
