When I try to login using Guest User, it asks for a password. This didn't happen previously. I've tried leaving the password blank and hitting return, but it still wants a password.
I logged in to my own account to check Users & Groups in System Preferences and everything looks fine. I even noticed it states here 'Logging into the guest account does not require a password'.
Using current version of Catalina - 10.15.6.
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15
Go into System Preferences, Users and Groups.
Unlock the padlock
Highlight the Guest account
Uncheck the "Allow guests to log into...." box
Close the padlock
Log out of your account
Check that the Guest account has gone.
Log back into your account and reverse the procedure, giving access back to the guest.
This just fixed it for me.

Thanks so much. This fixed it!
