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.

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 have just reinstalled v8 on my iPhone 12 running iOS 15.6.1 and it looks like its now working correctly there. I will need to fire up my MacBook Pro to check on MacOS. Its definitely still wrong on my Windows 10 PC.

As others have said, this shouldn't take this long to fix. If a 'proper fix' to manage regional settings is too complicated/difficult to deliver in a reasonable timescale, then please implement a 'hot fix' that is unambiguous and understood by all. yyyy-mm-dd would eliminate any misunderstandings (and is also an ISO standard). - All you would need to do is to change what is probably a single line of code to replace MM/DD/YYYY with YYYY-MM-DD.

I am becoming increasingly concerned about the company post acquisition. Once upon a time 1P stood for thoroughness, reliability and trust. - Basic coding design errors like ambiguous dates in an international product that are left unfixed for a long time are destroying that reputation.

This was originally raised in June, acknowledged (again) August 15th. Another 6+ weeks has gone by and still no fix. @Jack_P_1P any chance of an update - or even better a firm promise that this fundamental failure in basic coding will get fixed before a certain date or in a specific future release - "we are aware of it" and "hopefully ...[fix it]... soon" isn't confidence inspiring.

Reading the https://releases.1password.com/mac/beta/#1password-for-mac-8.9.4-6 of the last updates I get the impression that bugs a rarely fixed and they concentrate on "changing icons" and other small design issues. Agilebits' software development seems to be completly out of control.

It really does seem like the 1Password team are busy focusing on venture capital and really don't care.

Just noticed this as well. Bizarre that it does not respect the system region settings, and this style of US date formatting would have to be the worst default to pick (unless you live there)

I saw this thread makes multiple references to the modified/created date, but hopefully the other date fields are all being addressed, like the "Expire Date" field on the API Credential, Passport or Outdoor License templates. (Aside: it seems surprising to me that the Expiry Date field on the "Membership" template is only month/year instead of a full date. Also, I'm surprised the Software License template does not have an Expire Date field by default. Most software I purchase needs to be renewed)

I am using the 1Password app on Mac. The Created and Modified dates for items are shown in the US-centric short date format mm/dd/yyy. For any date prior to the 13th of any month this is very confusing. Can you please ensure that the date format conforms to that used by the rest of the world eg dd/mm/yyyy.

It's not limited to Australia. All non US countries are affected and the problem is known since the early acces versions of 1PW8 were released about a year ago. The only response you get from AgileBits is that this is a known problem and they are still looking into it. One might think they simply don't care...

Thanks for all the valuable feedback here, folks. I don't have any updates to share at the moment but will be sure to post here once we do. In the meantime. everyone in this thread has been added to our internal tracker on the topic.

@Kevin10, regarding your other feedback, I agree! We have an open feature request to bring more customization to item categories and templates, so I'll add a vote on your behalf there. 🙂

Genuinely awful reply. More than 4 months and no apology, no timeline, nothing more than a simple oh we will let you know.

This is a ridiculously easy thing to fix. The fact that it hasn't been in over 4 months is just going to continue to make people think you do not care.
