Asked for password for every single app update or download

I'm signed in correctly and have 34 free apps requiring updates. When I click "update" for any app it asks for my password. I have "Require password" toggled off in "Media & Purchases" but it makes no difference. I tried "Update all" but it still asks for a password for each download. I have changed the settings and powered on and off several times. No change.

iPhone 13, iOS 18

Icloud asking for password multiple times iPhone 15 plus IOS 17-18.0.1 Each time I go to update All apps, iCloud asks for password to update each password, and then deletes the update. So if I have 8 updates today, even though I choose UPDATE ALL, I am asked for password 8 times. Tomorrow, the 8 apps need to be updated again, plus ant that now need updating too. This started with the first update to IOS 17
