Never has been, and it's a Windows restriction. If you thought you were doing that, you must have actually been logging in as a guest. You can use the NAS name and IP address separately with different accounts, because Windows doesn't keep track of them being the same device.

Any technical explanation and why we still need to manually add a windows account to access a NAS share ?
Microsoft is changing the Windows policies on guest access to network shares.
