If you didn’t setup email, you can do so by editing the details in your `app.yml` file by setting up `DISCOURSE_SMTP_USER_NAME` and `DISCOURSE_SMTP_PASSWORD` variables.

IIRC you can disable Discourse ID completely with the `enable discourse id` setting.

See [this section](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/main/docs/INSTALL-email.md) for setting up email:

> Enter these values when prompted by `./discourse-setup` per the [install guide](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/main/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md#edit-discourse-configuration). To change the current email service, run `./discourse-setup` as well (this will bring the forum offline for a few minutes while it gets rebuilt).
