There are many different plugins for Wordpress that allow you to setup SSO using different authentication methods. The plugin that is explained in this tutorial is "OpenID Connect Generic" version 3.8.5 by daggerhart. This plugin uses OpenID/OAUTH2 and is free without paywalls or subscriptions at the time of writing this. The plugin is available for free in the Wordpress Plugin gallery.
