1. A computing system comprising:

  • a network circuit enabling the computing system to exchange information over a network;

    a user database storing information pertaining to various user accounts for a plurality of users; and

    a risk assessment circuit configured to;

    search, by the network circuit over the network, at least one data source to identify a user attribute;

    determine the user attribute is related to a first security credential that is either associated with or potentially associated with a user account;

    generate a security prompt responsive to the determination, the security prompt either instructing the user to update information associated with the first security credential or instructing the user to input information regarding a second security credential different from the first security credential;

    transmit, by the network circuit over the network, the security prompt to a user computing device associated with the user;

    receive, by the network circuit, a request to register a user account, wherein the user database includes no information pertaining to an existing user account associated with the user prior to receiving the request;

    provide, by the network interface, a registration interface to the user computing device, the registration interface requesting registration information from the user and prompting the user to input a first username;

    receive, by the network interface, user registration information comprising a first username, wherein a first security credential includes a username;

    search based on the received user registration information including the first username; and

    determine that the user used the first username in association with another user account associated with a data source, wherein the security prompt instructs the user to update information associated with the first security credential by requesting the user to input an alternative username.
