Just provide it. Apps downloaded with one Apple ID, are forever tied to the Apple ID that downloaded them and will always require it and its password to update.


You don’t need to sign out and in with a different Apple ID to update. The updates will just request the Password for the Apple ID that downloaded them and you can just enter it and move on.
