If you have a username and password configured on the device don't configure a password under the vty lines and use "login local" under the vty configuration and you should be prompted for a username and password when logging in.

When you use a built-in ssh client (trying to connect from switch CLI), it use your current username (that you used for connection to this switch) as ssh username, so in this case the router trying to find you in its local databes, and asking just a password. Check the local databases on both devices, users and passwords must be the same for your case.
