Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Why do i have to sign in to app store to install?

I used to be able to install apps without signing in using my Apple password (which is long and complex and a pain in the *** to type in). Maybe it used FaceID before or nothing at all. How do I go back to not having to type in my secure password every time I want to download a free app?
