I have created alias for username and it works fine
alias yb="ssh name@hostname"
It works fine, but I also want to create alias for password, Can anyone help how can I do this?

2Why don't you use keys instead? – PaterSiul May 17 '17 at 19:25

Before we start, it's not a good thing to do... you should use ssh keys instead!
You can use sshpass, it's a non-interactive ssh password authentication.
Install it using your package manager, for example in Debian based distributions:
sudo apt install sshpass
then in your bashrc:
alias yb="sshpass -p password_in_plain_text ssh name@hostname"

2For Mac : Install "sshpass" using "brew install raw.githubusercontent.com/kadwanev/bigboybrew/master/Library/…" – Abhinav Ravi Apr 8 '19 at 8:29

I'm user (A), there is a user (B) using the same machine. I can use
cat /home/b/.bashrcto see what B got there. – Ravexina Jul 2 '19 at 7:47 -
