If you want to add a birth date using the 1P Birth Date field, manual entry is not allowed, you must click on the appropriate date on the pop-up calendar. The calendar for the Birth Date field pops up by default to today's date, i.e., 07/13/2024.

To enter your birth date, click on the left arrow next to month to get to the appropriate birthday year. 12 clicks per year x the number of years between the current year and the birth year.

For someone born in, say, 1965, this would require over 700 mouse clicks to get the calendar to the year 1965. (59 years x 12 months per year = too many mouse clicks required)

Suggestion 1 - allow the year number at the top of the calendar to allow manual entry.
Suggestion 2 - allow manual entry into the birth date field (allowing users to type in the birth day, month. and year.

Maybe 1Password isn’t a great match for you. Have you tried others?

I'm sorry that editing and adding dates isn't as easy as it should be. 1Password for Windows should allow you to dismiss the date picker prompt by clicking on the date field and then typing in the value that you'd like to add. There is a known issue where this sometimes won't work properly and our development team is investigating.

I've passed your comments along to the team and hopefully improvements are made in a future update to 1Password.

For the time being, if you click twice on the date field (once to dismiss the prompt and once to select that field) are you able to use your keyboard to enter a number value? See the following recording:
