How to Disable Password ask when downloading an app.

Greetings Elalarge,

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.

We have provided the steps below to assist you with your password settings for downloading apps:

"You can choose how often you want to enter your password when you buy items (including in-app purchases) from the App Store and iTunes Store:

• Always Require — Every time you make a purchase, you'll be asked to enter your password, even if you're signed in with your Apple ID.
• Require After 15 Minutes — If you entered your password within the last 15 minutes, you won't be asked to enter your password again.

If you don't want to enter a password when you download free items, follow the steps below and turn off password protection for free items.

Require a password on your iPhone or iPad

1. Open the Settings app.
2. Tap your name.
3. Tap Media & Purchases.
4. 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."

Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities.

Have a wonderful day!

For iOS devices, go to "Settings," tap on your Apple ID, and select "Media & Purchases." Then, choose "Password Settings" and under the "Free Downloads" section, toggle off the "Require Password" option.

Open the Settings App

Tap Screen Time

Tap Content & Privacy Restrictions

Tap iTunes & App Store Purchases

Tap Don't Require for Require Password

To disable the requirement to enter a password every time you download an app, you need to adjust your device's settings based on the platform you are using. For iOS devices, go to "Settings," tap on your Apple ID, and select "Media & Purchases." Then, choose "Password Settings" and under the "Free Downloads" section, toggle off the "Require Password" option. For Android devices using the Google Play Store, open the Play Store app, tap on the profile icon, go to "Settings," then "Authentication," and select "Require authentication for purchases." Choose "Never" or adjust the settings to your preference. By making these changes, you can streamline the app download process without the need to repeatedly enter your password.

I have done all that and it's still asking me for a password when I download an app in the iTunes App Store. I tried turning off the Face ID so I could see the settings and I have it set to allow free downloads. What happened to clicking the side button to allow install? I have noticed this after the latest 18 update?

How do I shot my iPhone id when I’m downloading a app

The answer has already been given.

My Apple iPad has been giving me a password for games and I don’t know what’s wrong

Help me download games on my phone

Please don’t ask passwords

Trying to get on Roblox, but it keeps on saying I have to put my password because I have to update it and it’s not updating

I want to download app and I don’t want to put in my password

No that didn’t work because there is no password settimfs option under media and purchases

When I click on media and purchases there are only 2 options- sign out and view account. How do I change the password settings for App Store purchases without this option?

Mine is locked so I can’t change password choices
