Cognitive Concepts

3/5

Framing Bias

The repetitive nature of the message, constantly reiterating the same instructions, could be seen as a framing bias. The emphasis is overwhelmingly on the user ensuring they are the only one accessing the account, rather than providing clear, concise instructions on managing multiple users.

2/5

Language Bias

The language is relatively neutral, but the phrase "assure that you are the only person" implies a slight negative connotation towards multiple users, potentially suggesting suspicion or wrongdoing.

4/5

Bias by Omission

The message omits concrete instructions on how to "click on "" to resolve the issue, leaving the user to guess the correct button or process. It also lacks a clear explanation of the multi-account options and their associated steps.

3/5

False Dichotomy

The message presents a false dichotomy: either you are the sole user or you must upgrade your account. It doesn't acknowledge alternative solutions, like setting up specific user profiles within the existing account.
