From: Require a password for App Store and iTunes purchases - Apple Support

Require a password on your iPhone or iPad

Open the Settings app.
Tap your name.
Tap Media & Purchases.
Tap Password Settings, then choose the setting that you want.

If you don't see Password Settings, you have turned on Face ID or Touch ID for App Store and iTunes Purchases. To change this, go back to Settings, tap "Face ID & Passcode" or "Touch ID & Passcode", then turn off Face ID or Touch ID next to iTunes & App Store.

Also note:

About turning off password protection

You can't completely turn off password protection for paid items on your iPhone, iPad, or computer. On Apple TV, you can

turn off password protection for both free and paid items.

If you enabled Touch ID or Face ID for App Store and iTunes Store purchases, you'll be asked to use Touch ID or Face ID for every download, even if the item is free.
