On my Android S6, when I get home it automatically connects to the Wi-Fi but if I turn the WiFi off and turn back on it ask me for my password, also happens at work
 
Solution
It shouldn't ask for the password if you have set it to save the password once entered.

Unless, of course, your employer changes the password, or has their system set up to auto log out all devices. When can be done.

If you are saving the info and setting it to not 'forget' the log info, then talk to your companies techs about it.

no this isn't the issue, this happens at my home too. I'll come home with my wifi activated and it will auto connect, If for some reason I turn the wifi off (at work to get around blocked websites) when I reconnect it asks for password
 
That is why I said your employer might have it set up to ask any time you are logged out. If you turn off the WiFi connection, you are effectively disconnecting from that connection.
