Bias Analysis
Bias Types:
⚠️
windows_first
⚠️
windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by mentioning Windows Hello as the primary example of biometric authentication, both in the introduction and in the scenario walkthrough. Windows Hello is referenced before any mention of biometric options on other platforms, and there are no explicit Linux or macOS examples or tool mentions. The documentation does not provide parity in describing how Linux users might enroll or use biometric authentication, nor does it mention Linux-compatible biometric solutions.
Recommendations:
- Include explicit examples of biometric authentication on Linux (e.g., fingerprint readers using fprintd, or FaceID alternatives).
- Mention macOS biometric options (such as Touch ID or Face ID) alongside Windows Hello.
- Rephrase scenario walkthroughs to present platform options in a neutral order, or provide parallel examples for Windows, Linux, and macOS.
- Add troubleshooting or setup notes for Linux and macOS users regarding biometric enrollment and compatibility.
- Reference cross-platform biometric standards (such as FIDO2/WebAuthn) and how they are supported on different operating systems.
