Bias Analysis
Bias Types:

windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-first bias by specifically 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 examples or instructions for Linux or macOS users. The documentation does not provide parity in examples or guidance for non-Windows environments, and focuses on Windows-specific tools and terminology.
Recommendations:
- Include explicit examples and instructions for enabling biometric authentication on Linux (e.g., using fprintd, libfprint, or other Linux-compatible biometric solutions) and macOS (e.g., Touch ID).
- When describing scenarios, mention Linux and macOS biometric capabilities alongside Windows Hello, rather than focusing on Windows first.
- Provide troubleshooting or compatibility notes for users on Linux and macOS, including any limitations or required setup steps.
- Use platform-neutral language where possible (e.g., 'your device's biometric authentication' instead of 'Windows Hello'), and only reference Windows Hello as one of several options.
- Add a table or section comparing biometric authentication support across Windows, Linux, and macOS, with links to relevant setup guides.
