How to Create a Login Form on a WordPress Website
Login forms are used to manage users on a website When you offer user registration, users need to log in to your website. This form might seem complicated to create, but it’s easier with the best contact form plugin, Fluent Forms.
Let’s learn how to create a login form from scratch.
How to create a login form
We need to open a New Blank Form first.
Put the fields you intend to use in a login form.
Generally in a login form, user name, email, and password fields are used. We’ve used only email and password fields here.
You need to enable an integration that controls the logins. Go to the Integrations and enable the User Registration or Update module.
Now go back to the form and access Settings & Integrations.
Click Add New Integration from the Configure Integrations setting and select User Registration or Update Integration.
Now select the fields that are on your login form.
Select Default User Role – in most cases, you’ll need to select Subscriber.
You can enable Auto Login which lets users log in automatically after registration.
Sending a welcome email after registration is also possible.
Conditional logic can be used here but we’ll learn about that in another blog.
Save the feed when you’re done with the settings and your login form is ready.
Use cases
Login pages are necessary if you are offering user registration from your website. If you run an online shop or a subscription-based business log-in forms can be used there to manage the users.

From my understanding, this tutorial is not for a login page as it states, this is a registration page/feed. Is it possible to just log users in without performing a registration every time?
-
Yes, as it showed you can enable auto-login (from settings) users after registration.
