Hello Alex Rosenfeld,

After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are required to sign in to the iTunes Store every time you want to make a purchase. This happens because of a setting. I would recommend you read this article, it explains which options are available and where to make the changes.

On your Mac or PC in iTunes

Open iTunes. Make sure that you have the latest version.

Mac: From the menu bar at the top of your computer screen, choose iTunes > Preferences.
Windows: From the menu bar at the top of the iTunes window, choose Edit > Preferences.

Click the Store tab.

From the menus under Purchases or Free Downloads, select your preferred level of protection.

When asked, enter your password. Then click OK.

Click OK again to save your preferences.

Manage your iTunes Store and App Store password preferences

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. Have a nice day.

I have the latest version of iTunes (12.7.1) installed. I do not have that option in my settings. See the screenshot below.
