App Store updates - no password required?

I updated my iPad to IOS 16.4 yesterday. Today, my App Store updates do not request a password. In the previous version, I always needed a password. My settings are set to always need a password.

When downloading an app, the password is requested as normal. Any clues anyone? Is this a bug?

Thanks

iPad, iPadOS 16

App Store purchases can be configured to always require your AppleID Password.


App updates, for Apps already purchased, don’t (and from recollection never have) require a Password.
