iPhone keeps asking for password

Literally up until last night I had no problems, now I can't get any app or pay for any in app purchase unless I put in my password. My settings are all the same. I have a 15 pro. Always just click on the right for face recognition but not anymore. Any help would really be appreciated

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 17

I’ve found a solution that’s worked for me.


  1. Go into Face ID & Passcode
  2. disable everything in ‘Use Face ID for’
  3. Reset Face ID
  4. re-enable all Face ID settings
  5. Sign out of Apple ID and sign back in again.
  6. in Apple ID, Media & Purchases select Always Require Password and require password for free downloads.
