Using 1Password for this.

oh! passkey is a life saver...
they finally listened to our feedback by giving altnerative to OTP.

use windows PC to login to Eight and you can just key in windows login pin to enter!
it's so fuking simple and convenient. No more retrieving OTPs from father, mother and ah meows!!

Thanks for sharing. It might be due to weak signal at certain locations.

dun prefer getting signal chopped off suddenly at some station. is more drawn out than simba which happens but also quickly recovers.
one family member still have eight.

Can use google authenticator?

 

[Jirachi]

Can use google authenticator?

I don't use it so I do not know if they have Passkey support.

Roaming data speed in JB on U mobile. Quite decent I guess.

U mobile is Starhub’s “subsidiary”. Among the 3 telcos, I expect it to offer you the best experience.

Login normally via OTP first.
Then go to 'My Account' tab and click Register PassKey.
Windows should automatically prompt you to enter your Windows PC login pin.
You're done! It's saved into your account so the next time you login, just use PassKey to enter.

Quote from Eight: Passkeys are a new, secure way to sign in without requiring an OTP. They use your device's built-in security (like Face ID, fingerprint, or a PIN) to verify it's really you. This makes signing in faster, easier, and more secure.
