Not that I'm aware.  AFAIK, WiFi authentication doesn't work that way.  
On both Windows and MacOS, the WiFi discovery lists available SSIDs and 
you select one and enter the password if it's protected (WAP leaks data 
and you can eventually figure out the password, so I would use WPK2 at a 
minimum).

You can't pre-select and add passwords to SSIDs.
