Cognitive Concepts

3/5

Framing Bias

The repetitive nature of the message, constantly repeating the same instructions, could be seen as a framing bias. The emphasis is heavily placed on the problem (multiple logins) rather than offering clear, concise solutions. The reader might feel overwhelmed and frustrated by the repetition.

2/5

Language Bias

The language is generally neutral, however the phrases "another person (or you)" and "assure that you are the only person" subtly imply suspicion and distrust, which might negatively affect the user experience.

3/5

Bias by Omission

The message lacks information regarding how to effectively log out from other devices. It only mentions "clicking on ' '" without specifying the exact button or process. This omission reduces the helpfulness of the message.

4/5

False Dichotomy

The message presents a false dichotomy: either the user is the only person using the account, or they need to create multiple accounts/upgrade their plan. It fails to acknowledge intermediate scenarios where multiple users might share an account legitimately, but don't require a full family plan.
