How do I change the email used for AppStore access on my iPhone SE?

When I try to access the appstore on my iphone se, it uses my old email (not the same one as my apple ID). I do not know the password for that account. How can I get the correct email on it?

Change Email associated with the App Store I’ve changed the email associated with my Apple ID, but when I try to update any of my Apps, it always asks me for my password associated with my old email that no longer exsists. How do I change the email in the App Store?

Email not resetting for Apple Store Can anyone help to reset email address when trying to update apps via App Store?! Old email address keeps being prompted to sign into. I no longer have the password for the old email address. I have changed the email everywhere else on the phone I’ve signed off and on to try and reset. I do not want to remove the apps as this is a work phone.

Email issue My iCloud is signed in with my email but the App Store wants a whole different iCloud email password that doesn’t exist on my phone at all and I can’t recover the password because it wants to send something to the email I don’t have and now I can’t update my apps or get any apps.
