Le Monde Account Access Issue
This article describes how to resolve the "Le Monde account accessed on multiple devices" error message, offering solutions for single users and those sharing accounts.
- What solutions are available to users encountering this error?
- For single users, the solution is to ensure only one device is actively using their account. For multiple users sharing an account, they should either create individual accounts (if included in the subscription) or upgrade to a multi-account plan.
- What are the potential long-term implications if the issue is not resolved?
- Failure to resolve this will prevent the user from accessing Le Monde articles. For shared accounts, upgrading to a multi-account plan ensures each user has independent, uninterrupted access.

- The error message appears when a Le Monde account is accessed simultaneously from more than one device (computer, phone, or tablet), violating the single-device access policy.
Cognitive Concepts
Framing Bias
The repetitive nature of the message, always starting with "Parce qu'une autre personne", creates a framing bias by emphasizing the problem of multiple users rather than offering solutions directly. The solutions are presented later, and the repeated problem statement overshadows them.
Language Bias
The language used is somewhat repetitive and alarmist. Phrases like "une autre personne (ou vous)" and "vous ne pouvez lire Le Monde que sur un seul appareil" are slightly accusatory and create a sense of urgency.
Bias by Omission
The message omits details on how to disconnect from other devices. While it mentions clicking a button (" "), it doesn't explicitly describe the button's location or the process of logging out from other sessions. It also lacks information on troubleshooting if the problem persists after following the suggested steps.
False Dichotomy
The message presents a false dichotomy: either the user is the sole user or they need to create multiple accounts/upgrade their plan. It ignores the possibility of technical issues causing the problem or that the user might share their account with a trusted family member and doesn't want to change their plan.
