Working with forms

[Williams Andy Inc]

I would like to know is there any easier way rather than overriding super, how do i add icons into the html input eg to have a key icon on the password field 

without installing any third party app also.

is the best solution to render form in html and pass field values to django? or is there anyway to manipulate django and insert a text between input

django has this

<input type="email" name="email" maxlength="60" required="" id="id_email">

i want to have this

<input type="email" name="email" maxlength="60" required="" id="id_email" <i class="far fa-thumbs-down"></i>>

you can try if it can be done with widgets I am not sure

Thanks am already trying that,   and using that works for adding placeholder, but then it doesn't add a class,  if it could add i class i could use the font awesome unicode which would have been the easiest solution.

class LoginForm(forms.Form):

    username = forms.CharField(

        label="Email or Username",

        widget=forms.TextInput(

            attrs={

                "class": "fas fa-user",

                "placeholder": "f007 Username or Email",

            }

        ),

    ) the class is not showing up but the placeholder shows up without the f007
