iPhone keeps asking for Apple ID password

Ever since I updated all of my devices to iOS 13, I keep getting daily occasional pop ups asking me to input my Apple ID password. This happens at least once a day on multiple devices. I have tried to research the issue, and from what I’ve found, people have said to sign out of my Apple ID, and then sign back in. Does anyone else know of a fix? Also when it comes to location tracking privacy, about every 3 days I’ll have a notification saying that an app has been tracking me in the background. I approve it, which should take care of it, but there are apps that seem to not remember that I allow it and it just keeps asking. Anyone else having these issues?

I FIXED IT. I genuinely, finally found the issue. Listen up boys and girls.. if you’ve had your iPhone ask you for your Apple ID password EVERY DAY since ios13 - I’m about to drop a fix on ya.

First go to Settings -> “Touch/Face ID & Passcode”

Turn OFF “iTunes and App Store” under “use Touch/Face ID for”

Then go to Settings -> “iTunes and App Store” -> Password Settings at the top (if this doesn’t appear, turn off Screen Time. This another bug. Thanks apple)

if you’re like me, you’ll have the setting Require Password both switched ON and GREYED OUT. Either way, select Always Require at the top, authenticate if it asks, then select Require After 15 Minutes. And then authenticate again. Sometime two or three times.

either way, then you’ll be able to switch Require Password OFF.

that will fix the problem.

i suspect you’ll be able to the switch back on Require Password and also Touch/Face ID for iTunes and App Store, but I haven’t been game yet to try it.

just so happy that my phone isn’t prompting me every single day for my password, sometimes at midnight when I’m trying to sleep.
