Q: App Store prompts for wrong account
When I try to update my apps, I'm prompted for the password to my wife's account. I am the organizer of a family group and my wife is a member of that group. She is set up to share her purchases with the family. Shouldn't it allow me to update the apps without entering her password, even if the apps were purchased with her account, since she is sharing her purchases? I would rather not delete and reinstall all the apps if possible.
iPhone 6, iOS 9.3.4

It sounds as if you have installed this app while signed in to your wife's Apple ID, as opposed to installing it as a shared app while signed in with YOUR Apple ID.
You may have no choice but to remove some apps and re-install them using the correct Family Share procedures.
