It is possible to have a separate iTunes / iCloud password. I know people who don't use Family Sharing but share the same iTunes password for apps/content etc.

We recommend that you use the same Apple ID for all Apple services on your device—including the iTunes & App Stores and iCloud. Using multiple Apple IDs might be confusing and cause issues with accessing purchased content or using some services. If you have multiple Apple IDs, you can’t merge them.
But if you already have different Apple IDs that you want to use with iCloud and the iTunes & App Stores, you can still get all the benefits your Apple ID has to offer.
If you use multiple Apple IDs and want to restore your device from a backup, you can learn more about iCloud or iTunes backups.
That’s really odd, fsrstarr. All the Apple services such as iTunes, App Store, and iCloud all use your Apple ID https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202659 to log in. Which iPhone are you using? Do you have the same Apple ID selected in the iPhone’s settings?
