Is it possible to skip password for app updates on my iPhone SE? On my iphone and iPad the settings are set to 'require a password to download apps'. Now, eventhough auto updates are selected on, my devices do not update, unless I actively prompt an update and then I also have to insert my password. Is this logical or just ridiculous? In the past it would update without any need for passwords. [Re-Titled by Moderator] Original Title: Require password for app-downloads, but please not for updates

The device passcode is used when authorizing iPadOS update to download and install.
