So this is what my login screen looks like, freaky right?

It gets worse though, I have the guest account deactivated and I’ve tried multiple times to activate it and deactivate but this weird looking user is always there when I start up the computer. Furthermore, it’s password protected and I have no idea what the password is.

Is it just a bug or is my MacBook Pro and private information exposed to any threaths?

I have updated to the latest security fix update and I have not seen any suspicious activity anywhere.

This is really scary tbh, what should I do?

It’s a bug.

Open Terminal from Spotlight:

Once there type the following sudo command and press Return key:

sudo fdesetup remove -user Guest

then, enter your password that you use to log in to your system as an administrator, and press the Return key

Finally, Restart the computer, and the icon will be gone.

Just tried it and it worked like a charm, thank you mattguy10!
