Nested right inside the iTunes & App Store section in iOS 8.3’s Settings app, the new ‘Password Settings’ subsection contains much welcomed changes to the way Apple treats free app and iTunes media content downloads.

This is understandable to an extent, because approving purchases - free or paid - with the tap of a fingerprint is a frictionless experience. With Touch ID enabled, the new option is unavailable. The new option is only exposed to users when Touch ID is disabled, reports 9to5Mac.

A new ‘Password Settings’ section has been discovered in the Settings app of the current iOS 8.3 beta which will permit users to set up their iPhone, iPod touch or iPad so that downloading free iTunes apps and iTunes media won’t require an Apple ID password.
