Old Apple ID I can't access keeps popping up

I have an old Apple ID that keeps popping up. I had thought I had deleted all the apps from that old account, but I guess not. I do not have the password to this account any more, and no way to get it. Is there any way to get a list on the phone of what apps belong to what ID without having the password? If not this should be corrected by Apple. Each app should show the username of the app under which it was downloaded. Since all the old usernames pop up anyway, looking for the password, it's not like you would be violating anybody's privacy by tying the app to the purchase account.

You can check your purchases history to see which apps/purchases weren’t made by the current ID.

Purchase History Review.

Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.

If you want to, you can send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem or a suggestion for change. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem/suggested change solved sooner. Pick the closest topic you can find.

Yes, and thank you for the response.

Thing is, I have a lot of apps on the phone, and comparing them all to the purchases page is a needle in a haystack search. If the apps just had a right click that gave you basic information that included the purchase username, it would be much, much quicker. But if that doesn't exist, I will do it the way you advised. Thanks again for responding. Appreciated!
