Sign in as a Different User in SharePoint 2013

While trying to access SharePoint site with different user but I can not find "Sign in as different user" option. Then I found that option is missing in SharePoint 2013. We have to do some customization in Welcome.ascx.

Locate and then open the following file in a text editor:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\TEMPLATE\CONTROLTEMPLATES\Welcome.ascx ( use always a copy ).

Add the following element before the existing "ID_RequestAccess" element

 <SharePoint:MenuItemTemplate runat="server" ID="ID_LoginAsDifferentUser"
 Text="<%$Resources:wss,personalactions_loginasdifferentuser%>"    
 Description="<%$Resources:wss,personalactions_loginasdifferentuserdescription%> "   
 MenuGroupId="100"   Sequence="100"   UseShortId="true"   />
