I have 3 AppleIDs (different countries) and for instance, when I am logged into my main account but try to update an app from one of the other AppleIDs,
it occasionally asks me for the password but since iOS 14, it doesn’t show me the corresponding AppleID which is weird cuz how am I supposed to know what password of which AppleID it is asking me for? Like … „if you have AN AppleID, sign in with your AppleID“ which one?!

there isn’t a „email“ field either.

Is that a bug?

This has been around for multi account setup for a LOOOOOOOOOOONG time. I see no intention from Apple to ever bother investigate.

They way to deal with it, is trying to enter the password of ur other accounts and see which one stick. Just one password mismatch won’t hurt. Over time, you will have a general idea of which app is downloaded from which account.
