Wordpress user data (email, password , ...) stores in wp_users table.

I want to create a new table in my wordpress database and insert users email and password in my new table.

How can I do that?

this is the wrong solution and you will have issues with WordPress database updates in future. I think you can make rest API for authenticating forum users from main Wordpress site.
