Getting form data inside of fastapi was not intuitive to me at first. Everything I had used in fastapi leaned on pydantic models.  Form data comes in differently and needs collected differently.

``` python
from typing import Annotated

from fastapi import FastAPI, Form

app = FastAPI()


@app.post("/login/")
async def login(username: Annotated[str, Form()], password: Annotated[str, Form()]):
    return {"username": username}
```
