...and it should let you choose a temporary user name as well because "join as guest" (even if this is technically not a real guest account) was a very useful feature providing external users access to a room without bothering them to create an account in the first place. Would it be be possible to provide this "guest access" feature again, please?

Edit: Maybe this could be combined with a name suggestion like "tempuser_65ad4601d2" which will be deleted after 24h or so.

Edit2: Emphasized the necessity of a real guest login in https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/issues/9264 .
