Was this feature removed. I can't find the password settings menu under the App Store settings menu anymore.
After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, it’s with a heavy heart we announce that we will no longer be publishing new content on iMore and the iMore forums will be closing as of November 1st, 2024.
It's still there under Settings > Touch ID & Passcode.
Nope it gives me the option to use Touch ID. I was able to just download free apps without a fingerprint or password before.
Ohhhhh you can still do that but you have to go to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode, and turn off Touch ID for iTunes & App Store, then go to Settings > iTunes & App Store and a new field will appear that says something like "password settings". You can then select never require password for free apps.
Ahhhh gotcha! Thanks! I guess the fingerprint for free apps is less annoying than having to put my passcode in for paid apps
