Date format is incorrect in 1Password for Mac

@hsafer @fok @paulgrav try changing your language to English (UK) and restart the app.

How can this still be an issue in 2024?

Electron

Oh. Right. 🤦

Wow! It works! Even without changing my language to English (UK). Hooray!

@sema, you mean changing system language, right? I can also change languages in 1Password itself, but there is no "English (UK)", and changing that to German or Spanish for example doesn't change anything.

However changing the system language is not a fix, it just shows what the bug is all about: System language should have no effect on date and time formats. That's what local/region settings are for.

Changing system language from English (US) to English (UK) is not something I want to do, as it has other undesired effects, e.g. renaming "Trash" to "Bin", ...

@hsafer what do you mean? @sema wrote only about changing the language to English (UK). if you didn't do that what did you do?

@fok I simply looked at 1Password after I saw the message from @sema, and I saw that the dates appear correctly.
I recently got a new computer, so this is a new installation of 1Password. I don't know if that matters.

I would really like to have control over how the date is handled / displayed regardless of what the "standard" localized format would be.
Not having control over this can create a lot of confusion, especially if you're using shared vaults with team members from different countries or regions.

The corp could decide on a specific format that is different from the localized convention.
YYYYMMDD is by far the most useful format for digital records IMO for various reasons, but the user needs to have control over this.

Agree 100%. The best worldwide format is YYYYMMDD or YYYY-MM-DD to make reading easier. Need to configure it one time for all date fields in 1Pwd.

I really fail to understand this. It’s been more than 2 years now with the date issue. Is it so hard to solve it? 1pw8 should give all possible format and let the user decide whatever format they want to use.

This just bit me again with passport details. I hate to say it, but this issue is undermining my trust in the Mac version of 1Password.
