All I would like to achieve is shared login really.  To get both to store membership details on registration would be a bonus but I could do that manually I think.  Any good tutorials or hacks for this please?

There is supposedly one WP bridge - although from the recent complaints, I get the idea that it doesn't work all that well...
There are overlaps between variables in WP and SMF.

in short...... why do you want to do that?

Is your site a community/forum or a blog?
If it's intended to be a community, then use SMF -- you can do just about everything with SMF that you could with WordPress without worrying about bridges and issues from that...
If it is intended to be a blog...   then why bother with a forum?

WordPress has a lot of amazing plugins - WordPress Arcade for one, and also the Skysa Toolbar works with WordPress offering all sorts of apps such as chat / video chat with users being logged in automatically.  It would be great to be able to add the smf forum to this list as the forums that you can use with WordPress tend to be a tad slow.

This SMF-WP bridge was updated 01 Jan 2015, if anyone is interested.  Or, perhaps it's a new bridge with an old name.  I have not tried it, myself:
