Date format in date editing control does not respect locale settings

When viewing an entry with a date in it, it shows in the correct format - dd/MM/yyyy. You then hit the edit button, and it switches to MM/dd/yyyy.

As a side, the control is very hard to use, as you have to use the popup calendar to navigate to the month you want and select the day. Really, we just want to be able to type 21/02/1992 and be done with it.

Hello folks,

Our developers have released improvements to how 1Password handles date formatting in the latest version of the 1Password desktop app (8.10.80). You can read more here: Improved date formatting in the 1Password desktop app

This update resolves the issue reported by the original poster in this thread where you might have seen different date formats when viewing and when editing an item in certain situations.

If you still see an issue with version 8.10.80 (or later) then please post a screenshot of what you see in the 1Password app and your current operating system region/date settings in the new thread. I'll close this old thread in order to keep the conversation in one place.

The issue is still open with our development team, I'm sorry for the continued inconvenience.

@1P_Dave I agree the default should be ISO (not mm/dd/yyyy). The Windows app also does not respect system date format. Android app just has dashes (--/--/----) which is also a curious design decision but is also in mm/dd/yyyy. Finally, the graphical date picker does not have a year toggle so you have to endlessly scroll through months for distant dates. This has been an issue for ages (excuse the pun). How about a Settings option?

Thank you for the feedback, I'll pass along your requests regarding the date format to the team for consideration.

On which platform are you seeing this? If you're on mobile, can you open the year selector by tapping on the Month/Year? If you can't then can you post a screenshot of what you see?

I think the date pickers have been updated so the year/month selector is now present in both versions (Win and Android). Thanks!

The Android app (v. 8-10-70) now displays saved dates in YYYY-MM-DD (respecting the system setting - success!). However, it is displaying --/--/---- in a new item before a date is selected which is odd.

The Windows app (v. 8-10-70) does not respect the system setting. It displays dates as MM/DD/YYYY before and after a date is picked. All saved dates are in the US format.

So, partly resolved! Thanks for following up.

How has this issue been left languishing for 2 years? Do your developers not realise that everyone outside the US does NOT use mm/dd/yyyy?

I had to update an expiry date for a membership card, and found there is absolutely no way to view dates in the way that is correct for me: dd/mm/yyyy. A date displayed as "04/01/2026" in 1Password means 4th January 2026 to me.

Please update this, and fast. It should be a high priority issue. I presume you have lots of users outside the US. FYI this is in the latest MacOS build.

Thank you for your patience. Our developers are testing a fix in the latest beta version of the 1Password desktop app. Would you mind temporary switching to the beta version to see if the fix resolves the issues that you're seeing:

Install a beta release of the 1Password app

If you still see the issue with Beta 8.10.80-18 (or later) can you post screenshot of what you see in the 1Password app and your current operating system region/date settings?

Hi Dave, I've switched to the Beta channel and attempted to update the date in the membership card. The issue looks to be fixed, as it was showing dd/mm/yyyy.

Do you know when the Beta with the fix will be released to Production? I resisted updating to Beta in the past because it used to be a pain to switch back to Production, I'm not sure if that's still the case.

@bb1

Thank you for confirming that the beta fixes the issue for you! We expect to release the fix to the stable version as soon as testing in the beta is complete. If you'd like to roll back to the stable version you can use the steps in this guide.
