  Just do what you need to do - XMLRPC sync only restarts affected system services and restarts all packages

• Will there be an interruption of service after applying this configuration define above ?
  Nope - because these are only changes on the backup node

Ok thank you for your reply @viktor_g but to be clear on different steps :

1. On primary pfsense on System -> User Manager, I modify password of admin local account
2. On Primary pfsense on System -> High Availability Settings, just need to tick the option Synchronize admin ?

That's correct ? do you confirm ?

switch it:

1. On Primary pfsense on System -> High Availability Settings, just need to tick the option Synchronize admin (now your admin account password will automatically sync on each change)
2. On primary pfsense on System -> User Manager, I modify password of admin local account
