Hi, greetings from the UK.

I noticed that the date / time format for created / modified uses North American format (ie. back to front for us Brits).
Could this be changed to use the locale of the user please?

Many thanks.


1Password Version: 8.7.1
Extension Version: 2.3.5
OS Version: macOS 12.4
Browser:_ Firefox 101.0

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

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.

I wonder if this problem is caused by their switch to electron. Instead of having native controls that use system's date/time settings automatically they now have to do the conversion on their own. Nevertheless it's annoying that this is still not fixed after such a long period of time.

@kamion The same release notes are in the latest beta (8.10.1). Alas, the issue is still there. This is getting ridiculous at this point...

I was going to report the same thing and just saw so many complaints about this dating more than year back!?!?! This is getting a bit ridiculous to be honest.

Hi guys! The current behavior (1Password for Mac 8.10.3 (81003012)) is quite weird. When I choose a date it shows in a proper format, matching my system settings (D-M-Y). However, after I save the date, it shows in US format (M-D-Y). Please fix this, it's extremely confusing.

Thank you all for your patience and for continuing to report date/time localization issues for us to look into and fix. Our developers have completed some foundational work on addressing these issues which was included in the 8.9.12 update to 1Password but there is still more work to be done. I'm sorry for the frustration that the issue is causing and I want to assure everyone that our developers are working on this and hope to improve the situation even further with a future update to 1Password.

I've forwarded all of your comments to the development team so that they're aware of how the issue is affecting your workflows.

Still no change whatsoever in 8.10.4

I'm about to give up on all of this.

Our developers still have this issue in their backlog and plan to release further localization fixes in the future.

@1P_Dave thanks for personally replying to this thread, it’s appreciated.

After it’s all fixed I’d love to read a post-mortem on this issue. Speaking as a developer who’s had many run-ins with internationalisation (and time zones) I’m sure I’d learn a thing or two from y’all.

Just in case there was a misunderstanding: I'm not founder Dave, just another Dave who also works at 1Password. 😊

We'll definitely document the fix on our release notes but I'll pass along your specific request to our development team as well.
