iPhone requesting my wife's apple ID password

I just upgraded my iPhone and it keeps asking me for my wife's apple id password as there must have been something in the sync that is linked to her account. I've already checked my app updates (this is how I solved this previously) and removed apps I suspect she originally downloaded however I still cannot resolve this issue. There is 1 app under "not on this iPhone" that I know was under her but I can't remove it as it is not on the phone. Please help! Notification has been going off every time I open my phone since I got it earlier this week.

If you both have separate Apple IDs, you will need to log out of her ID from this phone, and then, log in with yours. Note; however, that any Apple iTunes or App Store purchases are tied to an ID. If she purchased apps with her ID, and you need to use them as well, you will need to repurchase them with your ID. The other option would be to set up a iCloud Family Sharing plan.

Use the same Apple ID every time and everywhere that you sign in. If you use Apple services like the App Store, iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, and more, then you already have an Apple ID and don't need to create a new one.

Please check where Apple ID is other than what you want to use under App Store, iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime
