When I wanna update apps I cant sign in my Apple ID. But when I download apps I can

I have a problem when I’m trying to update apps. When my phone is asking wir my Apple ID password when I’m about to upload and app, it says that it is an invalid password.

im defenitely using the right Passwort because it’s working when I’m using the password to download apps.

how can I fix the password problem?

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. After deleting the apps, it may be necessary to restart the device/computer before you can download the apps again. If necessary, check your purchases history to see which apps/purchases weren’t made by the current ID.
