My Apple ID password is not being accepted when I try to update an app

My Apple ID password is never accepted, even though I've restarted it multiple times and am putting in the correct password.

A request for another Apple ID password is often caused by updates to apps/purchases that were made when using the other ID. Those purchases are tied to the other ID and can't be transferred. One option is to delete the apps/purchases made by the other ID and download them using the new ID if desired. If necessary, check your purchases history to see which apps/purchases weren’t made by the current ID. 


Purchase History Review.
