If they are asking for the password of the previous owner you will have to delete the app entirely and download it with your account.

How do I update my apps. When I try to do it manually it keeps saying my password is wrong and when I click ‘forget password’ it keeps showing the Apple ID of the past owner when I’m logged into my Apple ID on the App Store app. How do I fix this?

My Apple ID on AppStore doesn’t match the one I’m actually signed into I’m not able to update or download apps without changing the full password of my Apple ID I’m not sure why it is like this because I’m settings it says I’m signed into my normal Apple ID but on AppStore it’s asking for another device in my houses Apple ID I’ve tried researching how to change it and so far nothing has worked
