Change from fingerprint ID

My wife is trying to download an app from the App Store and it asks for her fingerprint to access. She doesn’t have finger prints. How do I get it to accept her password instead?

Apple Watch Series 6, watchOS 9

Hello grandpadennis,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. We'd be happy to get your questions answered. Which device model, and OS version is she pairing her Apple Watch with? If she is pairing her Apple Watch with a device that supports the Touch ID feature, she can use her finger print on that device to download apps from the App Store.

Let us know if you have any questions. Kind regards.
