@MTOTHEH apparently all City Fibre lines can use. DHCPv6 PD method which doesnt require a password.
which most third party routers support.

I'm not aware anyone has that information specifically for Sky Broadband over CityFibre circuits (which has only been live for a few months)

Re: Got a new router i want to use
For Sky Broadband on Openreach it's
Username: A string of characters followed by @skydsl. For example, anything@skydsl
Password: Any string of characters that you choose. For example, 'anything' or 'skybroadband'

@MTOTHEH Have linked my Asus setting's direct on the ONT but it is OR and replaced the SR203 Model, may help for you trying no pppoe and using PD method!
