I would rather add a distict button for new session. But anyway please check the keyboard access. The current screen needs tab to switch between buttons (with tab between) and sessions (and arrow keys there) whereas the default log screen navigates with just left/right (and focuses the password input if relevant). And I wonder what happens when you have more sessions/users as can be shown on one screen. My expecxtation is some kind of chevron to indicate that there is more and to scroll through the list.
