MacOS asks me for the password on another previous Apple ID account, which is not my current one. How do I disable this issue every time I log in

Every time I log in, he asks me for the password of the old Apple ID account, but mine that is logged in is not this one and that's why I ignore it. But that may be affecting the system, and I would like him to recognize that my Apple ID account is the primary account and not the old account that I am not using

Check the App Store and iTunes Store to see if there are any updates for apps/purchases. 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.

so, after that time i tried to see if it solved because i had already uninstalled and installed the apps obtained by another account, but it didn't help, he keeps asking for the old account.
