An old Apple ID password

I have apps on my phone from a previous Apple ID and password.. I just gotten a new phone but I can’t transfer certain apps because it continues to ask me for that password to that previous Apple ID that I don’t use anymore..Is there a way for me to recover that password?

iPhone XR, iOS 16
