How do I turn off having to put in my password every time I have to download a app, I understand entering it in the first time but every single app??

Manage your iTunes Store and App Store password preferences

On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Tap Settings > [your name] > iTunes & App Store.
Tap Password Settings. If you have Touch ID or Face ID turned on for purchases, you won't see this menu.
Under Purchases and In-App Purchases, tap the setting that you want.
Under Free Downloads, tap Require Password to turn the setting on or off.
When asked, enter your password. Then tap OK.

About Touch ID and Face ID password preferences

If you turned on Touch ID or Face ID for iTunes Store purchases, you won't be prompted to set your password preference.

Touch ID or Face ID will always override whatever preference you set. If you have either turned on, you're prompted to authenticate every download. If you try to manually set your preference while Touch ID or Face ID is turned on, you'll see a message saying that Touch ID or Face ID are enabled for All Purchases.

If you turn off Touch ID or Face ID, the next time that you make a purchase, you'll be asked to set your password preference.
