What will I be locked out of if I don't change my password?

I keep receiving emails saying if I don't change my password I will be locked out of certain church sites.
I have been in 2 bishoprics and high priest group leader twice, and I have not ever been asked to change my password.
Now I an a family history consultant. What internal church sites exactly do I have access to now (and apparently will soon be locked out of) that I didn't as a bishopric member or high priests group leader?

Based on some posts from other users: you're likely to be locked out of all of them and will have to contact GSC to get re-enabled.

I don't know why ward temple and family history consultants would have stricter password policies than other callings, but you do have access to tools on FamilySearch as part of your calling that others don't have – for example, the Temple and Family History Consultant Planner.

If you are a stake-called Seminary instructor or a Temple worker, your account will have been added to the 'General Employee' password policy -- for Temples, a change implemented in the past six months, or so. Many Temple workers have rights to computer systems with their credentials, which, I suppose, is why all have been included.
