JHipster "anonymoususer" login

Question

I generated a monolithic application using JHipster and it has by default generated some users for me (admin,system,user and anonymoususer) "anonymoususer". I tried to log in with anonymoususer but I can't because I don't have the password. Can anyone tell me the purpose of this user?

By default, JHipster comes with 4 different users:

• “system”, who is mainly used by our audit logs, when something is done automatically
• “anonymousUser”, who is given to anonymous users when they do an action
• “user”, who is a normal user with “ROLE_USER” authorization. His default password is “user”
• “admin”, who is an admin user with “ROLE_USER” and “ROLE_ADMIN” authorizations. His default password is “admin”
