The Biggest Obstacle to Installing Apps Removed from the App Store. Installing apps missing from the App Store has gotten much harder in the last few years and, for the average person, is now very difficult. It got harder because Apple removed downloading and managing apps from iTunes. Nov 10, 2020 12:49 PM By Roman Loyola. Apple unveils new MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and Mac mini with its M1 chip The switch from Intel processors to Apple Silicon is now underway, and Apple on. By default, Gatekeeper is configured to allow apps from the Mac App Store and from registered developers. Users can make this more or less strict: Open System Preferences.
You can choose how often you want to enter your password when you buy items (including in-app purchases) from the App Store and iTunes Store:

About turning off password protection
Games On Mac App Store
You can't completely turn off password protection for paid items on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or computer. On Apple TV, you can turn off password protection for both free and paid items.
Mac App Store For Pc
If you enabled Touch ID or Face ID for App Store and iTunes Store purchases, you'll be asked to use Touch ID or Face ID for every download, even if the item is free.
Manage what kids buy or download
If you use Family Sharing, you can use Ask to Buy to control what kids buy. When a child asks to buy an item or download a free item, the family organizer can approve or decline the request.
If you want to permanently delete them from your account (as if you never had purchased them) do the following: Open iTunes on your Computer you synced the iPad with (or any other computer authorized with the Apple ID you bought the apps with). Got to the Option 'Apps' (left hand side, pretty much at the top of the list), then find the app(s) you want to delete, right-click on them and choose delete. Hope this helps. The next time you sync your other devices with your iTunes Library (if you have an other device e.g. iPad) the apps will be permanently deleted from them, too. Hope this helps.
Mac Os App Store
If you want to just delete them from your device (say iPad/iPhone): Sync your devices with your iTunes LIbrary, select them in the left hand side options bar (under devices...you'll see it), then you will be presented with a summary page of that device. Select Apps (from the options menu at the top of the page) and unselect the App(s) you want to delete from your device. Sync your device again, and you're done.
