App Store requires password every time

It’s an iPhone 16 pro max, with 26 update. Everything worked fine before the update

Now if I try to download an app it requires a password every time, with no option for Face ID, no stored passwords. Just input password every time, it also doesn’t recognise the password as entered either. So I other the password and I’ve checked it’s correct, and it blanks it out and goes right back to asking for the password

So far I’ve checked
Media and purchase. No mention of Face ID so I believe this means that it is enabled

Screen time is turned off, it was never enabled

Tried adding touch assist and that didn’t work, it says, you have enabled touch assist then doesn’t recognise the input

Elsewhere if you tap on the password input screen there’s a pop up for autocomplete and that doesn’t happen in the App Store

In Face ID and Passcode section Face ID is enabled for purchases and App Store

In App Store password is switched off for free apps

I’ve tried turning Face ID off and on again

I’ve tried restarting the phone

I’ve tried signing out

Still needs a password every time and still not accepting touch assist or the actual password.

Any ideas?
