iPhone keeps asking for Apple ID password 12/2022

Hi EJCSDS,

Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. Do you see this prompt to enter your Apple ID password in Settings or somewhere else? The more information you provide, the better the community can assist. Have you restarted your iPhone since this issue began? This can refresh iOS. Have you ever downloaded apps under a different Apple ID? If so, delete the app and re-download it under your current Apple ID. Sometimes if you install an app under a different Apple ID it will keep asking for the password. Since the issue occurred after an update, we recommend updating to the latest version of iOS to see if the issue persists after doing so. Here's how if needed: Update your iPhone or iPad

Update your iPhone or iPad wirelessly

1. Back up your device using iCloud or your computer.
2. Plug your device into power and connect to the internet with Wi-Fi.
3. Go to Settings > General, then tap Software Update.
4. If you see more than one software update option available, choose the one that you want to install.
5. Tap Install Now. If you see Download and Install instead, tap it to download the update, enter your passcode, then tap Install Now. If you don't know your passcode, learn what to do.

Take care.

Hey EJCSDS,

And just to confirm, the Apple ID shown to enter the password of is the Apple ID you're using on the iPhone? Also, if you go to the App Store to attempt updating the apps, are there any apps here that are not updating? Here's the steps you'll want to take to manually update the apps: How to manually update apps on your Apple device - Apple Support. This can help us isolate where the error is coming from.

We look forward to hearing back.

Hello EJCSDS,

For this issue, we'd also recommend the following steps:

1. Update all of your trusted devices. See steps above for updating iOS and iPadOS. If using a Mac, see steps in: Update macOS on Mac
2. Are you using a passcode on this device? If not, set one up and test it out: Use a passcode with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

If needed, make sure iCloud Keychain is enabled: Set up iCloud Keychain

Should you continue to have this issue, then it would be best to contact Apple Support: Official - Apple Support They'll need to take it from here.

Wishing you well, take care.

Understood EJCSDS,

This may be getting triggered by updates attempting to occur overnight. If you had installed an app in the past under an old Apple ID, for example, it may require that old ID's information to be able to complete that update. Is the Apple ID being prompted a current Apple ID or an older one?

Cheers!
