After 10.15.4 update Guest User popped up on Login screen with unknown password.

Hello guys.


After an update to macOS Catalina 10.15.4 (19E266) from Mar 24, 2020 (made with downloaded Combo Update), among other user accounts the Guest User popped up on my Login screen.


(I still have pretty clean re-installation of Catalina on my iMac with no special apps installed and I'm sure I didn't have Guest User enabled before. but now... it is.)


More interestingly it has some password!? Which I don't know. Guest User is not supposed to have a password, right!?


Any idea what's going on? Does anyone have same issue after latest update?


Thanks for your suggestions and have good evening everyone.

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.15

I suppose you can use any administrator account to reset the guest account's password, but I wonder whether it will work as the password is supposed to be blank anyway!
