Sign in as Different User missing in SharePoint 2013

Today I want to share a very nice quick and easy way to the missing "Sign in as Different User in SharePoint 2013"

Text="<%$Resources:wss,personalactions_loginasdifferentuser%>"  Description="<%$Resources:wss,personalactions_loginasdifferentuserdescription%>"  MenuGroupId="100"  Sequence="100"  UseShortId="true"  />

• Save the file.

Now, the menu item shall be displayed:
