Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows 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 tool references for Linux or macOS biometric authentication. The documentation does not provide parity in naming or describing Linux (or other OS) equivalents, nor does it offer platform-agnostic guidance.
Recommendations
  • Include explicit references to biometric authentication methods available on Linux (such as fprintd, or biometric support in GNOME/KDE environments) and macOS (Touch ID, Face ID).
  • When describing scenarios, alternate or parallelize examples so that Windows, Linux, and macOS users see their platforms represented equally (e.g., 'After logging in with a Windows computer using Windows Hello, a Linux computer using fprintd, or a Mac using Touch ID...').
  • Avoid listing Windows tools or features (like Windows Hello) before mentioning cross-platform or other OS equivalents.
  • Add a section or table summarizing supported biometric authentication methods across different operating systems, with links to relevant setup guides for each.
  • Ensure screenshots or UI walkthroughs are not exclusively Windows-centric, or provide equivalents for other platforms.
