Is anyone else having an issue where your itunes password isnt being prompted for on any purchase? I bought several songs and an in-app purchase, and was never prompted.

Im terrified to let my kid near my phone at this point.

Mine still needs password for both free and paid. Bugs bugs and more bugs with this release.

Feature of iOS 6 since beta 1. You will need password for new purchases.

Agreed, except its not prompting on new purchases. Tested with itunes songs, apps, and in-app purchases. None prompted.

Basically my phone is a 3 year old's smurfberry mass weapon of destruction to my bank account right now. :)

I may have found it, or at the very least, a workaround.
Settings->general->restrictions.

It was completely off. Once in there and turned on, I set "require password" to "immediately". There is also a "15 minutes" setting instead of immediately, but I'm not rich enough to try that setting and keep buying things to see if it worked :)

And now oddly enough, I turn off restrictions (like it was originally) and all is fine. Password prompting is now occurring. I dont know if cycling restrictions on and off woke it up or not.

My son checked his iTunes account & found out that that his 4 yr old daughter had $158.82 in app purchases.

Whoa! He really needs to enable restrictions on his device especially for in-app purchases. Because my youngest son play a lot of games and watch cartoons via Netflix on my iPad, I have restrictions enabled before instance, he cannot make any in-app purchases, he cannot delete any apps & he cannot purchase any apps.
