That should be fine (although you could go even more minimal by
ditching Encoding, TryExec, and Type)

The menu should show up on the bottom panel after you select a user.
Note you won't see it if you have password less login (which is a bug,
but we haven't fixed it yet), since with passwordless login you're
authenticated immediately after selecting your username.
