No currently there is no SSO support. I've checked from a third party freelance company and they said it would take about $1500 to get it done.
Hmmm did you get this quote online?
Alternatively if it is not SSO....
An account created on WordPress also creates the same login credentials for Chevereto? Whilst maintaining separate sessions...

Why not just use Google/Facebook sign in for both Chevereto and Wordpress? It is much easier to implement and convenient to use.
SSO is more than just wordpress.
SSO in general will work with any exiting system (custom php site, forum site etc) via say a API key (master slave relationships) to Chevereto.
You also can't force your existing user base to signup again. Wordpress as an example has been around long before facebook integration lol..
There are sites out there that have been running for 20 years with thousands of users.
I'll use IPboard as an example. It lets you install it on your site and essentially what it does it when a user logs in on your site and then visit the forum, it automatically creates that username on the forum platform in the forum database. Instead of using two sets of logins and two sets of passwords, it then uses a key to identify and log in. This is what Chevereto needs to be very versatile with all system.

That is exactly my point. Why use a login at all when you can use universal SSO like Google/Facebook? Over 60% users on my site use social login as username/password for each site is now thing of the past. The rest 40% are majority spammers and one day I may even remove the old username and password login.
Even though not old as 20 years, Google/Facebook accounts are very common for the last 10 years. I bet over 90% internet users will have either one of this. There is not much to sign up as it just two clicks away for a new user to login with Google/Facebook accounts.
You have to also think about the complexities in implementing something like this. If as you say you have a 20 year old blog or forum, think about the amount of users you need to import to Chevereto database which majority of them have never logged in for many years and may not need a image upload site account. Another thing will be keeping both database in sync consistently for new user replication.
