HA pair admin password change

I have an HA pair of F5 LTMs( 11.5.x). If I change the default admin password on active LTM ,will that be automatically in sync with standby LTM or do we need to update the password separately on standby LTM? Is there any possibility of HA pair sync break/service disruption ?

    Mayank, the passwords are not synced to the peer device. Also, i've never experienced any HA issue when changing admin/root passwords either, so i would say no possibility of this.

    Admin password need to be updated manually. Sync option can sync config but while doing so it might prompt you to update peer admin password.
