I have two accounts, JV1 (old) and V3 (new). I have logged into my current account V3 both in Settings and the APP store. When accessing the APP store to purchase or update before progressing it tells me to enter my password for my old account JV1 and sends the passcode to my old phone number.
Why is this happening and how do i change it?
