Can't update frequently used apps on iPhone, as originally downloaded on very old defunked apple ID

When I try to update some iPhone apps, the App Store requires the password of an apple ID that is no longer functional. It is years old, and I no longer know the password.

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 12

Thanks for you response WN, before you answered I tried another approach which worked I'm glad to say. I just deleted the app on my phone, went to the App store and searched for the app, and it simply downloaded the updated version!

All good, thanks for the support!
