After adding the below code, Backspace key stops working at any JTextFields, when I press Backspace, nothing happens.

It is strange, as KeyListener in the code is applied to specific field and not other JTextField. With debugger I have checked, that the KeyListener inner code isn't triggered when in other fields I press Backspace. But anyway it isn't executed and not applied to that fields, just ignores it.
Java 11.
Probably you are deactivating the backspace with these lines:
Action beep = getActionMap().get(DefaultEditorKit.deletePrevCharAction);
beep.setEnabled (false);
Since the modification happens on the DefaultEditorKit it is likely global, not just for the JTextField that you are looking at.
