It may be confusing but even when the app is free you are asked (should be asked) for your Apple ID and password to proceed. Provide your credentials (no matter if the app you're going to download is free) and it really should work...
If you already associated a credit card to your Apple ID you will need to verify certain data (usually the CVC, but maybe other data as Phone number, ZIP code, etc.) before being allowed to use the account, even if the app in question is free. It does not mean it will charge you, it just wants to be sure that is you, and that your payment information is correct.

Do you get the prompt to verify your payment info even when installing free apps from App Store on your iPhone and iPad? Follow this quick guide to stop this unnecessary 'Verification Required' prompt from appearing time and again on your iOS device. If you are able to get success with the explained solution, do share your feedback in the comments.
Are you repeatedly getting a popup saying, “Verification Required – Before you can make purchases, you must tap Continue to verify your payment info.” or “Verification Required. Tap Continue and sign in to view billing information.” on iPhone or iPad. The error message mostly crops up while installing free apps from the App Store and tends to stop you from carrying out your task. Having myself encountered the popup a few times, I can say that it can easily freak you out and take you on top of the angst. So, how to fix this issue?
Before you can start guessing, let me tell you that it’s basically an outcome of the payment method used on the Apple ID linked to the device. The Verification Required billing message appears, if you have an unpaid balance on the account, the payment method has failed or not updated properly. It also shows up if your iOS device has never been used to make a purchase in the App Store. More after the break:

To get rid of the issue, you have to change the payment method. You can go for a valid payment method or choose “none” to not associate any payment details with an Apple ID and App Store.
You may not be able to select None option, if there is payment due or Family Sharing Option is enabled on your device. (Open Settings app on your iOS device → Name → Family Sharing → tap [your name] → tap Leave Family.) There are several other reasons why you might not see None option when editing your Apple ID payment information. To know more, head over to this post.
Step #1. Launch Settings app on your iPhone → Tap on iTunes & Stores.
Step #2. Tap on Apple ID. You may be prompted to type in your Apple ID password here. Then an Apple ID menu will appear with four options: View Apple ID, Sign Out, iForgot and Cancel.
Step #3. Tap on View My Apple ID.
Step #4. Tap on Payment Information.
Step #5. Tap on None under the section of PAYMENT TYPE.
That’s it! Going forward, the verification required popup won’t appear on your iOS device.
You can also update your Apple ID information from your computer. The process is equally simple. Keep reading…
