- (BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField
{
    [textField resignFirstResponder];
    if (textField == self.textField1) {
        [self.textField2 becomeFirstResponder];
    } else {
      [button sendActionsForControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
    }
    return YES;
}

You have to implement a UITextFieldDelegate method for this, and set the delegates of the text fields to self (self being your UIViewCiontroller):

- (BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField
{
    [textField resignFirstResponder];
    if (textField == self.textField1) {
        [self.textField2 becomeFirstResponder];
    } else {
        [self buttonTapped:self.button];
    }
    return YES;
}

As for what to see on your key, you can set it as the "Return Key" in the interface builder

Two textfields with Tags - 1 & 2
One IBAction method for textfields.

Bind method from your view's textfields. -> Did End On Exit Event

- (IBAction)returnAction:(id)sender
{
    if ([sender tag] == 1) {
       [textField2 becomeFirstResponder];
    } else {
       //YOUR_ACTION to perform;
    }
}

You can also perform with Delegate method

-(BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField;

Thanks.

Let's consider you linked your textfields to your .h, creating 2 IBOutlets, and an outlet and an action for your button:

@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextField *firstField;
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextField *secondField;
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIButton *button;
- (IBAction)buttonPress:(id)sender;

In your .m file, in the viewDidLoad, add this:

_firstFieldField.delegate = self;
_secondField.delegate = self;

Back in your .h file, conform your class to the UITextFieldDelegate protocol:

@interface MyViewController : UIViewController <UITextFieldDelegate>

Then, in your .m, you can implement the following method, which will be called when you press the "done" button on the keyboard:

-(BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField {

    if (textField == _usernameField) {

        _firstField becomeFirstResponder];
    }

    else if (textField == _passwordField) {

        [_secondField resignFirstResponder];
        [self buttonPress:_button];
    }

    return NO;
}
