I have some apps on my phone which were downloaded under a different apple ID, how do I find out which apps these are, when I update my software it asks me for the passwords but doesn't tell me which apps need the old passwords

Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID that was used to download/install them.

Open AppStore with your Apple ID, tap your profile (top right corner), then tap Purchases. Take a note of your exixting apps (for your Apple ID).

Then sign out from your Apple ID, restart your iphone, then enter credentials for the different Apple ID, and do the same path. Delete all the apps belonging to the different Apple ID, sign out, restart the iphone, sign back in with your Apple ID.
