Some suiteable place:

package MyApp::Controller::Root;

use parent 'Catalyst::Controller::HTML::FormFu';

sub auto : Private {
   my ($self, $c) = @_;

my $login_form = $self->form;
$login_form->load_config('forms/login.yml');

$c->stash->{login_form} = $login_form;
}

Then you wont stomp on your own form all the time.
