1. A method for identifying and remedying password insecurity, the method comprising:
searching, with a backend system, a plurality of websites to identify a plurality of cultural terms;
storing, in a database of the backend system, the plurality of cultural terms;
receiving, at an identification system, a password;
comparing, with the identification system, the password to a first cultural term based on a first similarity score between the password and the first cultural term;
denying, with the identification system, the password based on the first similarity score;
transmitting, from the identification system, a first notification to a recommendation system indicating that the password has been denied;
generating, with the recommendation system, a suggested password comprising a string of characters;
comparing, with the recommendation system, the string of characters to the plurality of cultural terms stored in the database;
approving, with the recommendation system, the string of characters for use as the suggested password when a number of similarities between the suggested password and the plurality of cultural terms is below a predetermined threshold; and
transmitting, from the recommendation system, the suggested password to a user device.
