Unknown emails discovered to be associated with app purchases on new iPhone set up

I recently got an iPhone 11. When I was going through the set up process and applying settings from my old iPhone 8, it asked me the passwords for two emails I've never seen before. When I selected "Skip this Step", the prompt informed me that purchases made with these emails would not be available on my new phone after set up. Apparently these emails are associated with app store purchases made on my phone. I'm not really sure what this means or what I should do about it. Is there a way to check and see what apps and purchases are associated with what email?

That means you at one time used a different apple id to purchased said apps. And apps are tied to the apple id that was used to purchase it.
