include login form in homeview Django

I want include my login form in my home template, which is a simple Templateview. Below you see the code for login FormView:

"""" from django.contrib.auth.forms import AuthenticationForm

class LoginView(FormView): form_class = AuthenticationForm

template_name = "users/login.html"

def get_form(self, form_class=None):
    if form_class is None:
        form_class = self.get_form_class()
    return form_class(self.request, **self.get_form_kwargs())

def form_valid(self, form):
    login(self.request, form.get_user())
    return super().form_valid(form)

"""

And this is my homepage view:

""" class Home(TemplateView): template_name = "index.html" """

So basically what I want know is, how can I add the form as context in my home view. Also the Home view and Login view are both in seperate views.py files.
