Cognitive Concepts
Framing Bias
The repetitive nature of the message, constantly reiterating the same instructions, could be considered a framing bias. The emphasis is solely on the user's action of logging out from other devices, without addressing potential alternative solutions or acknowledging the possibility of legitimate multiple-user access. This could subtly pressure users to disconnect even if they are authorized to use the account from different devices.
Language Bias
The language is generally neutral, but phrases like "assure that you are the only person" could be seen as slightly accusatory or imply suspicion of unauthorized access, even though it may be a shared account.
Bias by Omission
The message omits consideration for users with legitimate reasons for accessing the account from multiple devices (e.g., shared family accounts). It also lacks clear instructions on how to manage multiple users effectively within the system, focusing exclusively on disconnection.
False Dichotomy
The message presents a false dichotomy: either you are the sole user or you must disconnect. It fails to acknowledge the possibility of authorized multiple users and offers insufficient options for managing shared access. The suggestion to create separate accounts may not be feasible or desirable for all users.
