I was trying to login to a website using a Python script for which I needed to find the form-data header but couldn't find that for long until I came across this YouTube vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvUqk683mSA where they say that you need to make sure to check Preserve log on the Network tab of the developer console because apparently the Network tab clears requests activity on every page refresh and therefore the user-login POST request would never be visible.
And once you do get the login request you were looking for, in order to get the username and password or any other form data, head to the Payload tab and you'll find your "form-data" under Request Payload. Hope this helps!
