Exit App Store Application

First, to prevent your App Store from asking for a password, completely exit your App Store application.

Disable Face ID for App Store

Change Password Settings

Navigate back to your main settings and tap on your Apple ID name. Here, select Media & Purchases and go to your Password Settings.
