UITextField退格变清空问题

我出现这个问题是在注册登录页面。该页面有一个普通的UITextField，和一个属性secureTextEntry为YES的输入密码的UITextField。因为我这里没有使用UITextField的placeholder属性，而是在UITextField上放一个label来显示提示语，这样，UITextField的退格变清空问题就会更明显。问题重现如下：

1）点击普通的UITextField输入内容

2）点击输入密码的UITextField输入内容

3）再次点击普通的UITextField获取焦点

4）再点击输入密码的UITextField，接着点击退格键，内容清空，并且提示语label不显示

经查阅，后找到了解决办法：

在UITextField的代理方法

- (BOOL)textField:(UITextField *)textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range replacementString:(NSString *)string;中，截获退格键删除行为，让它每点一次退格键删除时只允许删除一个字符。该代理方法是在UITextField的内容改变时调用，第二个参数表明内容改变的范围，第三个参数是替代的字符串。

该解决方法的思路是，先取到光标位置，把文本内容暂存，清空原来UITextField的内容，然后将暂存的文本内容中光标左侧的文字replace掉重新赋给UITextField，并回复光标位置。以下蓝色部分的为该实现代码

- (BOOL)textField:(UITextField *)textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range replacementString:(NSString *)string;
{
    if ([string isEqualToString:@"\n"])
    {
        return YES;
    }
    NSString * toBeString = [textField.text stringByReplacingCharactersInRange:range withString:string];
    
    switch (textField.tag) {
            
        case phoneNumTextFieldTag:{
            if ([toBeString length] > 0) {
                phoneNumReminder.hidden = YES;
            } else {
                phoneNumReminder.hidden = NO;
            }
            
            if ([toBeString length] > 11) {
                textField.text = [toBeString substringToIndex:11];
                return NO;
            }
            break;
        }
            
        case passwordTextFieldTag:{
            if ([toBeString length] > 0) {
                pwdReminder.hidden = YES;
            } else {
                pwdReminder.hidden = NO;
            }
            if ([toBeString length] > 16) {
                textField.text = [toBeString substringToIndex:16];
                return NO;
            }
            
            <span style="color:#3366ff;">if (range.location > 0 && range.length == 1 && string.length == 0)
            {
                // Stores cursor position
                UITextPosition *beginning = textField.beginningOfDocument;
                UITextPosition *start = [textField positionFromPosition:beginning offset:range.location];
                NSInteger cursorOffset = [textField offsetFromPosition:beginning toPosition:start] + string.length;
                
                // Save the current text, in case iOS deletes the whole text
                NSString *text = textField.text;
                
                // Trigger deletion
                [textField deleteBackward];
                
                // iOS deleted the entire string
                if (textField.text.length != text.length - 1)
