It asked for my email address, which I provided. Then it said there was no account for that email address, and asked if I would like to create an account. I said yes. Then it said I was logged in. Huh? I didn't have to verify anything.

If emails are being treated as usernames, in a real world usage, they should be verified. But beyond that, no verification is necessary.

For the sake of the demo, email validation has been disabled to make the account creation as simple as possible and to allow fake email addresses to be used.
