SQL Server Management Studio Logins Dialog missing

Question

I am running SQL Server Management Studio v17.6.

The online tutorials for creating a new Login show a dialog that comes up when your right-click on Logins and select New Login.

I don't see this dialog; instead I get a script to CREATE LOGIN which is OK but I would prefer the dialog.

I don't see an option to switch from getting a script to getting the dialog. I don't know if this version does not have the dialog or if I am just not finding the option.
