Strong Password Suggestion Clears Other Secure Fields

I can't seem to find information on this but this is causing a critical bug where the Strong Password suggestion sheet presents on any secure field (UIKit) and clears the others when closing it. This means the user cannot enter a password when there is a secure confirm password field because switching fields clears the other.

This looks to be a recent issue but I can't tell when this was introduced or if this is SDK / OS version related. I am finding it in both Xcode 26.2 and 16.4 when running on device (iOS 26.2.1 and XC 26 simulators).

Code to reproduce:

class ViewController: UIViewController {
    override func loadView() {
        let v = UIStackView()
        v.axis = .vertical
        v.layoutMargins = .init(top: 16, left: 16, bottom: 16, right: 16)
        v.isLayoutMarginsRelativeArrangement = true
        view = v
        
        let t1 = UITextField()
        t1.textContentType = .username
        t1.placeholder = "Username"
        v.addArrangedSubview(t1)
        
        let t2 = UITextField()
        t2.isSecureTextEntry = true
        t2.textContentType = .newPassword
        t2.placeholder = "Password"
        t2.clearsOnInsertion = false
        t2.clearsOnBeginEditing = false
        t2.passwordRules = nil
        t2.clearButtonMode = .always
        v.addArrangedSubview(t2)
        
        let t3 = UITextField()
        t3.isSecureTextEntry = true
        t3.textContentType = .newPassword
        t3.placeholder = "Confirm Password"
        t3.clearsOnInsertion = false
        t3.clearsOnBeginEditing = false
        t3.passwordRules = nil
        t3.clearButtonMode = .always
        v.addArrangedSubview(t3)
        
        v.addArrangedSubview(UIView())
    }
}

No matter what textContentType is used the strong password still forcefully breaks the flow and blocks the user.
