Don't Miss: How to Return Mac Apps You Accidentally Bought.With the release of OS X El Capitan (version 10.11) last fall, the Mac App Store also included an option to download free apps password-free, but it can be tricky to find if you don't know where to look. Furthermore, it makes sense to keep the password option for paid apps, to prevent accidental purchases. Naturally, having the option to download free apps from the App Stores without a password makes sense, since they should all be safe anyway. IOS had a similar issue, which was nicely resolved with the release of iOS 8.3 back in April 2015. But things can get annoying real fast if you download a lot of free apps from the Mac App Store, since you have to type in your Apple ID password each time. Whether you want to edit photos, compress files, play games, or DJ your next party, there's a free Mac app that can help you out.
