Apple ID and password issues

I’ve had to change my Apple ID password multiple times and it still won’t work on my account.

I can somehow download new apps with it but am unable to update pre existing apps. Anyone know what’s going on?

iPhone 7, iOS 14

If you simply reset your password it should work. If you created a new account then you have to update old apps with the old account information.

You may also wish to turn off "Find My" before changing information and turn it on again afterward.
