You can't.  The feature never fully landed, just some prep work for it.

well it varies from distro to distro, but "login" is probably for
/sbin/login used
for login to text vts.

"gdm-password" is used for password authentication
"gdm-fingerprint" is used for fingerprint authentication
"gdm-smartcard" is used for smartcard authentication
"gdm-autologin" is used for automatic login without authentication
"gdm-launch-environment" is used for setting the login screen itself
up (login for the gdm user)

can't. feature doesn't exist.
