Chrome 68 will mark all HTTP sites as “not secure”
It's surely authenticated, but I don't want guests to use WPA-Enterprise. I just need a way to communicate temporary passwords to them.

Right, and WPA-Enterprise (which even many cheap home routers support nowadays) is that way - you can just generate temporary logins.

WPA-Enterprise is a way to authenticate users, not a way to distribute logins/passwords. Am I missing something about it?

I guess I misunderstood you before. You're using the portal to
provide
passwords to the users? How does that work?

Portal shows a message like "here's your temporary login/password for 4 hours". Then a user enters them to the login form. When using WPA-Enterprise, a user can also set up WPA on their device with these credentials.

If the portal provides you with the credentials and also asks for them, what's the point of that portal in the first place?

You can use them across multiple sessions and devices.
