Object reference not set error when referencing login layout

Trying to customize the login widget with a custom layout template but I keep getting an object referenence not set error.

What am I missing? Here's the error from the log:

Message: HandlingInstanceID: c991f5d4-542b-4b58-a438-254e8df901a7

An exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred and was caught.
