Q: Apple ID password and Family Sharing

When trying to approve a download in Family Sharing, my Apple ID password is not being acknowledged. I repeatedly receive the request fro my password. I logged out and back in, contacted Apple Support and re-set my password, but it still doesn't work. This happens on both my iPhone and my iPad.

iPhone 5, iOS 9.1, iPhone and iPad

The solution is hidden at Request and make purchases with Ask to Buy - Apple Support:

If you decline the request or don't make the purchase, it will be deleted after 24 hours, and the child will need to make the request again.

So what's going on here is that you're trying to approve an expired request, and it's failing, over and over, without notice or explanation.
