I have installed Deepin 15.4 and I can't find any options to enable Guest login.

Could anyone tell me how to do it, please?

Thanks,
Laszlo Adamik

I think there is no guest account.
Simply create an account with the name Guest and use this.

looking for the same workaround here......seems that they have removed the function,which is extremely useful as some users do not want their PCs messed up by other people

Well, it is not the same though, since all users have to have passwords for their login except Guest...
And when somebody makes any changes as Guest it will be reset to default after next restart...

Those are the two reasons exactly why I need real Guest.

Yes, I agree.

I need it for two notebooks used in a public community building for kids who come there to use them after school, since they don't have PC-s and Internet at home...

indeed,we need a ACTUAL Guest account  which  meets with at least these 3 requirements:1.no complex passwd authorization 2.Guest user makes absolutely NO changes to anything out of a specfic user directory 3.has to be reset after each logout.Hope they can make this working soon........

I asked the official support about it. The answer I got was this:
Unfortunately, it is not available at present...
