my Apple ID password is not working for iTunes

my iTunes won't allow me to use my Apple ID password- even though it's the right password, it keeps telling me that it's incorrect. I've tried signing out of my Apple account, restarting my phone and retrying but it's not worked . Any help will be much appreciated.

Thank you


iPhone XR, iOS 14

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.
