guest login in High Sierra

Is there any way to enable a guest user in High Sierra? it says guests should not need a password, but the login screen requires one, yet there is no place to set a guest password in Preferences.

Thanks.

There is the option in Users and groups already checked to allow guests and also access to shared folders. But still no way in this preference panel to set a guest password. And w/o a password the guest cannot log in.
