You are probably aware that you can disable password prompts altogether for free downloads made on your iPhone, iPod touch, iPad and Mac.

How to go into and exit Split View multitasking mode from within Mission Control on your Mac
macOS has a nifty little productivity boost that makes it both easy and fun to run two apps side-by-side in your Mac's native full-screen mode.
This can be indispensable when focusing on specific tasks at hand while disregarding everything else, like online research and taking notes, or blogging and writing, or reading news while keeping tabs on your Twitter feed and so forth.
This mode, called Split View, is normally activated by dragging an app to either side of the screen by its window's upper left green button, and then choosing another app to fit the other half of the screen.
But the multi-step process is often a tad confusing for novice users, especially those accustomed to Windows 7's effortless window snapping. Thankfully, your Mac supports creating Split Views right within Mission Control, which in macOS has been tidied up and made clearer and more obvious.
In this tutorial, you'll learn how to go, and exit, Split View just by dragging app windows inside your Mac's Mission Control.
