When you use the Single Sign On method, user accounts are not stored in Q2A at all. Login and registration is only through the other app (e..g Wordpress). So there is no need to do what you say.

When you're logged in with Wordpress, Q2A has special functions (in qa-include/util/external-users-wp.php for Wordpress, or qa-external/qa-external-users.php otherwise) that call through to Wordpress functions in order to check a user is logged in.
