How To Create A Guest Account On Mac

Let's show you how to create a Guest account on your MacBook laptop or Mac Desktop.

In this video, I walk you through the steps to create a Guest account on your MacBook laptop or Mac Desktop machine. First, go to the Apple icon on the top left corner and then choose System Preferences. Toward the middle, you will see Users and Groups, click on that and then click on the Lock icon at the bottom left corner. You will have to enter your password before you can make changes. Now you can click on Guest User to the left and check the box that says Allow Guests to login On This Computer. Now someone can log into your computer by selecting Guest without a password.

I hope this video helped solve your problem. App still not working? If so, drop your question in a comment below!

Good video. Can you create a follow up as the guest user who is using the laptop? Would like to visually see those steps as well.
Thank you

Is there a way to password lock the apple mail? We use our MacBook as a family and we don’t really want our daughter to use a guest account or to have access to our emails. Thanks
