If your stacks are password protected then the automated detection 
process cannot run as it needs to iterated over all scripts looking for 
keywords to suggest what you are using (a process which is, 
unfortunately, not 100% reliable).

Therefore, in this case you have to select inclusions manually in the 
Standalone Builder and choose the things you use explicitly.
