Seems like it's not a bug, but feature of iOS TextField https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7305538/uitextfield-with-secure-entry-always-getting-cleared-before-editing

Also, you get same behaviour on any iOS native app using TextField with secureTextEntry=true.

@asemiankevich and @annadanchenko maybe this can be closed as per @dmitryn findings

This can be changed by overriding default behaviour of textField of iPhone, In for it!

[Newbie1010]

(BOOL)textField:(UITextField *)textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range replacementString:(NSString *)string

Check using:
NSString *resultString = [textField.text stringByReplacingCharactersInRange:range withString:string];
BOOL isPressedBackspaceAfterSingleSpaceSymbol = [string isEqualToString:@""] && [resultString isEqualToString:@""] && range.location == 0 && range.length == 1;
if (isPressedBackspaceAfterSingleSpaceSymbol) {

//action of backwards delete
