Hi ,

I log on using my Apple ID and when I update apps , it asks me for my wifes password for her Apple ID in order to update the app even though I am still logged in under my Apple ID.

How can I change settings so I only need to use my Apple ID and password to perform this function.

Can anyone please help?

MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.14

Hello. Was the app originally purchased/installed when your wife was logged in with her Apple ID? If so, you would need to delete the app and then purchase/download it again under your Apple ID, assuming the app is still available in the App Store.
