OK, I know I'm not the first to want to do this. I want the learner to enter a name in one box then another word (Password) in another box. Then I will use these latter. But first, after they enter these it will make another hotspot active. So if they don't enter anything they can't move on.
I am trying to imagine your design. I am assuming the "Hotspot" you are referencing would contain the trigger to move forward. If you are using a hotspot and you do not want to reveal it until certain things happen (name and password), then it might be best to put that hot spot on a layer and then choose to reveal that layer when the conditions are met. A "show layer when variable changes" could work here.
If you were not using a hotspot, then you could use a state change. But Hotspots do not contain states.
I want the learner to enter a USER ID and password before they can move to the next slide. So I created two text boxes and a hotspot under a login button. But I want them to enter the USER IS and password before the login hotspot will work.
I get the idea - I have attached something that I think is close to what you are describing. I might suggest that though, that a better option would be to add Conditions to the Login button. (also included. For example, someone could add their name - which activates the button, then erase their name after that.

Trigger on text variable value !== empty?

I hope that helps.

Was there a reason you were using a hotspot?
