props vs. state for login component

If I have a Login component that has two inputs email and password. Currently it is a class with props.
I think I should remove the isLoggedIn and raise that state up and have a separate LogOut component.
In that case does this Login Component need props? Can it be switched to a function and only use state? Essentially just passing the email and password up.

class Login extends Component {
        constructor(props) {
                super(props);
                this.handleEmail = this.handleEmail.bind(this);
                this.handlePassword = this.handlePassword.bind(this);
                this.handleSubmit = this.handleSubmit.bind(this);
                this.handleClear = this.handleClear.bind(this);
                this.handleLogout = this.handleLogout.bind(this);
                this.state = {
                        email:  '',
                        password: '',
                        isLoggedIn: false
                }
        }
