I'm not sure I understand what you are asking: the ("Basic") string is the
authentication type (that comes to the authentication plugin that the
configuration is using)  and it is a useful piece of information, but of
course it is not required.

I think you should handle that in your particular dialog logic, the widget
does what it was designed for, that is allow the users to choose and
existing authentication configuration AND/OR to create a new one, editing
and deletion of existing configs is also available.
