Convert to Form
All login forms include an option to convert the predefined/fixed form to a standard form (right click on the login form to display the context menu). This allows you to convert the static form into native Web builder objects so you can fully customize the layout and code if you like.
Note that customizing the PHP code requires knowledge of PHP. Making changes to the code without knowing what you're doing will result in undefined behavior!

More Information
More information about the individual login forms is available in the help and PDF manual.
We have also created another tutorial that doesn't make use of the login template:
