Can’t login to App Store
Is the App Store login different from your Apple ID and password? Those don’t work when I try logging into the App Store? How do I turn that feature off when I want to download something?

The App Store log in is the same as your Apple ID.
Are you running any anti - virus programs? Using a VPN?
Try setting up another admin user account in System Preferences/Users & Groups to see if the same problem continues. Also try the Safe Mode.

Hello monna,
Describing what happens when you try, and any error messages, would help for us to tell. In the meantime see these documents if you think they apply:
Click on this link "If you can’t download or update apps on your iPhone or other Apple device" - https://support.apple.com/HT207165
If the first 5 don't help, use the 6th.
If instead you see a message that says "Your account has been disabled in the App Store and iTunes" click on this --> https://support.apple.com/HT208856
