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.

What a mess, considering you can run into quite some trouble if you copy the date of issue of your passport in the wrong format on an application form for visa or plane booking ...

Or, if like me, you think you still have a couple of months before your drivers license expires, while in reality it’s only a couple of days ;)

I, too, am having the same problem where my 2021 iMac 24", 2016 MacBook Pro, 2021 iPad 11", iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPhone 12 mini is in the region of Malaysia, where we use the DD/MM/YYYY format. My 1Password client on ALL of my Apple devices are showing "modified" and "created" in MM/DD/YYYY. I checked the Language & Region in General Settings, the Date Format is shown as DD/MM/YYY.

Please help me change 1Password client to DD/MM/YYYY.

Thank you.

I fail to understand why should it take so long for such a simple update? This was never an issue with 1p7. What’s happening here? Why is the team not able to solve a simple problem which didn’t exist in the earlier versions?

Any update on this issue yet?

this issue is driving me nuts, pls fix it ASAP, can't believe it's been more than a year for what appears to be a simple problem

Same here, it's so annoying. Every single time I need a date I have to slow down and think what format it is, where is a day and where is a month. Really breaking my workflow

Since this hasn't been mentioned yet, the fix isn't working for Preferred Language set to English (Singapore) — Primary (Sonoma 14.1.2 and 1Password for Mac 8.10.23). 1Password is still using the US date format and not the date format set in Languages and Preferences. I agree with others that this isn't just a cosmetic issue but can lead to grave errors when entering info like expiration dates of important keys and documents. Please prioritise fixing this, at least for the preferred languages that have already been mentioned.

How can something go so wrong which was not an issue in 1pw7?

January 1, 2024

The fact that this hasn't been fixed in 1.5 years makes me doubt AgileBits software quality in general. What else is being handled so sloppy? Is this software really handling my passwords securely if the devs are not even able to output date and time values formatted to system locale settings?
Or is the focus now mainly on developing business features for large corporate customers and not caring anymore about UX basics for the actual endusers?

1pw8 has been a rough UX ride so far on all platforms I use (iOS, macOS, Windows), but I gave AgileBits the benefit of the doubt when they decided to abandon 1pw7. Unfortunately more than 2 years later I'm still waiting for anything good coming out of it. :-(
