Merging existing Discourse and WP user lists

Users who created their WordPress accounts prior to enabling SSO with WP Discourse will be considered to have valid email addresses. The only issue with using non-default registration systems once SSO has been enabled is that user’s email addresses will be marked as invalid. The plugin supplies a hook that you can use to validate your user’s email addresses. Using the hook requires adding a few lines of code to your site. There are details about how to use it here: How to turn off Discourse email verification?.

So the easiest method seems to be to just disable email verification if I want to make things straightforward. The downside to that would be that people could “hijack” someone’s account if it is already existing and they sign up for WordPress using the existing email, right?
