According to this page:

If you want to prevent clients from connecting as anonymous users
without a password, you should either assign a password to each
anonymous account or else remove the accounts.
We I do a MySQL install, I always go into the mysql client as root
and issue these commands:
use mysql;
delete from user where Password='';
flush privileges;
quit;
It removes those accounts.
