I've used two secure textfields(new password & confirm password), When I tried to clear a single character in a textField using backspace. It clears the whole text. How to fix this issue

You need to detect backspace tapped and then remove last element from string with using textField delegate
func textField(textField: UITextField, shouldChangeCharactersInRange range: NSRange, replacementString string: String) -> Bool {
let char = string.cString(using: String.Encoding.utf8)!
let isBackSpace = strcmp(char, "\\b")
if (isBackSpace == -92) {
print("Backspace pressed")
}
return true
}
Dont forget to add UITextFieldDelegate to your ViewController

let isBackSpace = strcmp(char, "\b") -> Invalid escape sequence in literal – Vikraman R Jun 08 '20 at 11:12

try "\\b", this should get rid of that error – Scriptable Jun 08 '20 at 11:15
