OAuth2 tokens will be revoked when a user's password is changed.
Google is implementing a security policy change where OAuth2 tokens issued for access to certain products will be revoked automatically when a user changes their password. Due to customer inquiries, the full rollout of this policy has been delayed until early 2016.

OAuth2 tokens for certain products are now revoked automatically when a user's password is changed.
To enhance account security, Google has updated its security policy so that OAuth2 tokens issued for access to specific products—including Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Apps Sync for Microsoft Outlook (GASMO)—are revoked whenever a user's password is changed. This ensures that if a device is lost and the password is reset, data will stop syncing to that device until the user re-authenticates with their updated credentials.
