Apple id not getting logged out completely

I recently had to create a new apple id, and now whenever i try to download something it asks me for my password (which is always incorrect). When i try to use the forgot password it shows my old account instead of the one currently logged in

Check the App Store and iTunes Store to see if there are any updates for apps/purchases. A request for another Apple ID or 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.

Or you can try to set up Family Sharing  between the IDs to keep access to your purchases.
