App store requires Apple ID password despite having all the corresponding settings adjusted.

UPDATE: this fixed it for me, Step #3 was the differentiator for me.

1. Make sure you are updated to 17.2 or later.
2. Go to Settings >> FaceID + Passcode >> Toggle OFF iTunes and App Store.
3. Shut down the device. Wait a few seconds. Restart the device.
4. Once restarted, Toggle ON iTunes and App Store... it will ask you to enter your password.
5. Now, test that it works by downloading an app from the App Store and it should work properly now (i.e. Ask you to double-click the side button).

I found the real solution, for my phone anyways. YMMV of course.

If you have a lot of apps to update, go into "Settings -> Screen Time -> Content & Privacy Restrictions"

Turn it OFF, update your apps, then turn it back on when you're done.

For some reason "Content & Privacy Restrictions" completely ignores the App Store settings.

I hope this is able to help someone out there. Just make sure you turn C&P R back on when done if you're using it.

The solution for me was as follows:

1- Turn off "iTunes & App Store" option in "Face ID & Passcode" in "Settings".

2- sign out of Apple ID in App Store.

3- sign out of Apple ID in Settings.

4- turn off phone and wait one min and turn it on.

5- sign in Apple ID in settings.

6- when you sign in Apple ID in settings ,phone ask you to sign in for App Store automatically.

7- when you go to Face ID & Passcode in see that "iTunes & App Store" option activated (if not active it by yourself)

8 - install a new app and see problem solved.

I hope it work for all

(Sorry for bad English)

This fixed it for me: Settings>Screentime>Itunes & App Store Purchases>Require Password> change from always require to don’t require

I just got this work!!! Here is what i done step by step:

1. I created new appleID
2. Logout my main apple ID on appstore
3. Log-in new appleID
4. Download couple softwares using password then appstrore start asking faceID
5. Logout new appleID
6. Log-in your main ID
7. Download couple softwares using password
8. BOOM Appstore starts asking my Face-ID!!!

I have found a solution!

Go into Settings > Face ID & Passcode > (enter passcode) > Toggle off and on again iTunes and App Store > (it will prompt you to sign in with your Apple ID password again)

Now go to your App Store and try it out 🙂

Just go to “Face ID & Passcode”, enter your passcode then make sure “iTunes & App Store” is toggled on. If it is already on, then just toggle it off and toggle it back on again. Then restart your app store. Doing this worked for me. Now new apps will download with face ID authorization instead of requiring a typed in password everytime.

Confirm, same issue with my new Iphone 15 pro, after latest update 17.2.1. Tried everything, only solution for me was to turn face id completely for itunes and app store.

Somehow it fixed by itself. I just logged in another time next day in AppStore, and it was solved.

This worked for me except I didn’t have to do all the steps. I just signed out under settings and signed back in. Works fine now with Face ID.

Problem: I couldn’t download any apps. After I put in password, it would act like it was ready to load the app then ask for my password again, over and over. (iPhone 13 pro.)

I'm having this same issue. So far none of the solutions here (or any I've found online) have worked for me. I have a 2nd gen iPad pro. It does not have face id. I have tried opening the app store and singing in on my profile, but it still asks for password sign-in every time I try to download an app. I've singed out of my apple account and signed back in. Reset my iPad. Most of the solutions I've tried have steps that do not coincide with options that are not on my iPad. I have the latest IOS version. My only option left is to do a factory reset and try making a new Apple account to see if the starting tutorial has an option to disable it. Any help is appreciated.

I want to download a lot of things, but I cannot because it’s my uncle phone. He don’t have to pay but he gave phone to me. I was trying to get the password for months and years now, but I cannot so can you please please give me some idea to get a face ID because I do not have it. I had it, but I don’t know we’re having it probably deleted. I can go on my settings for all that, but I do not know how to do this so please please, help me and you help me so much help me

I’m trying to download things all of that you guys can give me some idea how to do it because I forgot my password and I don’t know what to do so can you please please please help me I’ve been trying to get them for ages that I can get in, please

Confirm. Same issue on iPhone 14 after update and my girlfriend’s iPhone 13 same issue. This seems as global bug that should be addressed and fixed asap.
