Le Monde Account Access Restriction

- How does Le Monde handle multiple users accessing a single account?
- Le Monde's system detects simultaneous logins from different devices, restricting access and displaying an error message. It offers solutions such as creating individual accounts or upgrading the subscription plan.
- What actions can a user take to resolve the 'multiple device access' message on Le Monde?
- To resolve the message, users can either ensure only one device is accessing their account, create individual accounts for multiple users under the same subscription (if applicable), or upgrade to a multi-account plan.

- Users sharing accounts should consider creating individual accounts or upgrading their subscription to a multi-account plan to avoid access restrictions. Failure to do so will result in interrupted service for some users.
Cognitive Concepts
Framing Bias
The repetitive nature of the message, constantly reiterating the same instructions, could be interpreted as framing the user's actions as problematic, even if unintentional. The emphasis on the user being the potential source of the issue ('une autre personne (ou vous)') might create unnecessary guilt or frustration.
Language Bias
The language used is relatively neutral, but phrases like 'assure que vous êtes la seule personne' ('make sure you are the only person') could subtly imply suspicion and single out the user as the potential problem.
Bias by Omission
The message omits details on how to easily identify and disconnect other devices from the account, which would improve the user experience. It also lacks information on what constitutes 'one device at a time' for different user scenarios.
False Dichotomy
The message presents a false dichotomy: either the user is the sole account holder and must ensure no one else is using it, or they must switch to a multi-account plan. It doesn't consider other possibilities, such as shared accounts among family members who only use it occasionally.
