how to disable app store asking for password when updating apps?

[unlimitedx]

I thought in ios 6 it would stop asking for a password when simply just updating apps? is there a setting somewhere to activate it?

Easy. Type in your password when asked.

The answer is you can't. What if your phone gets stolen? You would be stuck with a bunch of charges.

Updating in iOS 6 doesn't ask me for passwords out of the box.

I don't see any reason to type in my password every time I go to download free apps. It's a hassle.

no, that isn't the point. i thought it was a feature of the new iOS. I'm just asking what happened

Here's what I've found:

When you update your apps from the Updates tab in the App Store app, it doesn't prompt you for a password. If you try to update an app from any other section of the App Store app, it will ask you for a password.

Not having to enter your password to update or to download free apps was a rumored feature in iOS 6. I could have sworn it was officially advertised or at least confirmed by Apple itself, but I must be mistaken. Anyway, it wouldn't matter if someone could download free apps onto your stolen phone.

Updating apps is free, that's why it doesn't ask for password in ios6

If my iPhone were to get stolen I would wipe it. I'd welcome the option to disable appleid passwords for any app purchase, both MAS and iOS.
