Ssid password

All of a sudden when I try to use my hotspot or wifi it asks me for my ssid password. Ive never had to do that before. I have no idea what it is.

SSID is simply the formal title for a WiFi network name. (Specifically it's just an abbreviation for 'Service Set IDentifier') Whenever a WiFi network is getting set up, it needs to be give a broadcast name. That's the name you'll see when you want to gain access to it. Typically, the first time you try to connect your phone to a new WiFi network, it will show the WiFi network name and ask you for its password so you get authenticated to use that WiFi network and have online access. That WiFi network name (a.k.a. SSID) and the password you entered, get stored on your phone so the next time you're in that location your phone will just automatically connect itself to that particular WiFi network. This way, you don't need to enter a password each time want to use the WiFi at a place you've already been to. But for each new WiFi network encounter, you need to enter that WiFi network's password.
