What happens to a Linked account in Alexa when user password is changed on that account?

I was recently trying out the account linking using Alexa. I understand the Auth code and implicit code. But my scenario is

1) User links account successfully through Alexa app.

2) Now User changes password on the original account.

What would happen to the linked account ? Would it still be linked ? How would we handle it in our API? Would the access token not work and we will be able to know ?

It depends on how you implemented the authentication for the skill on your server. When they link their account you provide a token back to Amazon. If when the user changes their password you invalidate that token, then the account would no longer be linked.
