Hi Pat, It’s not Apple stuffing you around. When you changed your Apple ID password, I suspect you didn’t follow the instructions to update your Apple ID on all your devices & Mac.
After you change your Apple ID or password, you normally need to update your sign-in information with any Apple services that you're using. What to do after you change your Apple ID or password https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT204071 If it's asking for a different Apple ID to update an app or apps, then they have been purchased on the other Apple ID account. You can't change the Apple ID that an app has been purchased with. Instead, delete the app from the device and purchase it again with the Apple ID that you want the app registered to.
