Systems and methods for identifying correlated users

A computer-implemented method, the method comprising:

• a data storage device storing instructions for identifying correlated users in an electronic storage medium;
• and
• a processor configured to execute the instructions to perform a method including:
• receiving query information from one or more electronic devices associated with a first user;
• determining one or more other users associated with the first user by accessing a connection database;
• transmitting, to the one or more other users, an opt-in preference for opting in to communicating and sharing authentication information;
• receiving authentication information for each of the one or more other users, upon receiving indicia of opting in by the one or more other users;
• receiving, from the connection database of the first user, connection data for each of one or more other users based on receiving the authentication information for the one or more other users;
• determining a degree of connection of the one or more other users to the first user, based on the connection data;
• determining a destination of the first user based on the query information;
• determining one or more other user destinations for the one or more other users, based on the authentication information for the one or more other users;
• identifying one or more correlated other users from the one or more other users by comparing the destination of the first user with the one or more other user destinations of the one or more other users and further based on the degree of connection of the one or more other users;
• and
• transmitting, using a graphical user interface (GUI), the identified one or more correlated other users to the first user.
