Nope. As already written, for this purpose you set up passwordless authentication by generating keys (ssh-keygen) without entering a password and add the public key of the machine that should be granted permission to it's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys. It is bad practice to use a passwords unencrypted inside files.
As said there are plenty guides on the web easy to find as well via the search function of this forum. Use the patterns "ssh passwordless authentication" on Google for example. This is the 1st hit I got:
SSH login without password

ssh-import-lp-id
ssh-import-id(1) ssh-import ssh-import-id(1)
NAME
ssh-import-id - retrieve one or more public keys from a public keyserver (Launchpad.net by default) and append them to the current user's
authorized_keys file (or some other specified file)
SYNOPSIS
ssh-import-id [options] USER_ID_1 [USER_ID_2] ... [USER_ID_n]
OPTIONS
-h | --help usage
-o | --output F write output to file 'F' (default ~/.ssh/authorized_keys, use "-" for standard out)
DESCRIPTION
This utility will securely contact a public keyserver (https://launchpad.net by default) and retrieve one or more user's public keys, and
append these to the current user's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file.
The system administrator can change the source URL used by ssh-import-id(1) by editing the configuration file, /etc/ssh/ssh_import_id,
which is sourced to obtain the value of URL. By default, URL="https://launchpad.net/~%s/+sshkeys". Note that this url really MUST be a
secure, https url with a valid, signed certificate or else your system will be vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks! The "%s" will be
populated by ssh-import-id(1) with the value(s) of USER_ID_1 [USER_ID_2] ... [USER_ID_n].
