Disable app store asking for password at every install

I set-up a new iPhone for my child and added in Family.

The problem I have is that every time my child installs something from App Store, the application keep asking to sign-in with password.

I disable everything I could (ask to buy, app store password from Media&Purchases, enable/disable faceId, enable/disable iMessage and FaceTime, etc.) and App Store keep asking for my password.

I don't know what else to do right now to disable this.

On all devices I have iOS 16.6 and I don't want to upgrade to 17 considering the bad experiences a lot of people have.

Can someone help me with a solution to stop AppStore asking for password?

Thank you.

After fussing with this for a while, I found this is what worked for me:

Settings

Face ID & Passcode

Use face ID for:

iTunes & App Store - turn off and on

It asked for my Apple ID password

Once entered, Face recognition worked.

Hope it is this easy for you.
