Feb 18, 2016 9:55 PM in response to kittyMomma73by sberman,As the article you attached says:
"If you have Touch ID turned on for purchases, you won't see this [password settings] menu."
At Settings > Touch ID & Passcode, have you turned on [Use Touch ID for] iTunes & App Store?

Feb 19, 2016 4:54 AM in response to sbermanby kittyMomma73,I Do not have Touch ID enabled. I can get to the password settings menu. I have the "Require Password" turned off under free downloads. So I am not sure why I am still being asked for my password when downloading free apps.

Mar 8, 2016 2:27 PM in response to kittyMomma73by tozika,I have the same problem but with an old iPad 2 (So there's no doubt if Touch ID is turned on or off).
Before I enabled Touch ID on my iPhone 5s it worked just fine there. And if I turn Touch ID off it still works.
On my iPad (while doing tthe exact same thing as I did on the phone and it's not exactly rocket science to begin with) I can turn off password for free downloads just fine and it stays turned off (in theory only of course) but I always have to enter the password for free iBooks anyway.
