App updates ask for a different Apple ID password than mine

I tried Updating My apps when I go to update it tells me to put a password for a different Apple ID which I don’t know instead of telling me to use my main Apple ID that I know the password and use everyday and the one that’s actually logged in on my phone

If they were downloaded onto an iPhone or iPad under a different Apple ID, they can happen. To fix it, you can delete the apps and )assuming they are still available) download them again under your own Apple ID.
