It's just that FANDOM assumed most users already have a confirmed email to get their access back, which would ideally be true but seems to be false. So many users locked out of their accounts is a sort of failure.

What I meant by "restricting the said accounts" is first of all blocking the ability to change the email (Maybe it's just impossible, I don't really know). The old password paired with an IP that was used by the user recently may be a reasonable confirmation.
