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.

Dears, this is really unacceptable bug in such expensive software as 1Password. The version 8 is full of such small but very annoying quirks. Version 7 was way better in many aspects. You are lucky that I don't have time to switch to some other password manager.

It's about time to stop answering with the same phrases over and over again. This behavior shows a lack of respect for your non US customers.

I would just like to add my voice here as well.

I've just updated to 1Password 8 — finally — and immediately on opening the app, the bizarre dates just hit you right between the eyes.

No but seriously, it means an extra few seconds of mental processing every time your eyes come across a date, which has a significant impact on UX.

Yes - and I add my voice to this.
Inconsistent date format is marginally worse than forcing us to use a date format used in only two (2) countries. At very least, use a non-ambiguous format: MMM DD YYYY.

1Password 8.9.8 (and previous versions) on MacOS doesn't display date and time according to the System Preferences.
I am using "English" language as preferred one, with "Poland" Region. In such configuration Date in the system is being displayed as DD/MM/YYYY and time is being displayed as HH:MM in 24-hour format.

Unfortunately 1Password still displays date as M/D/YYYY and time HH:MM AM/PM.
In 1Password Preferences for Language option in advanced Tab I have "Use system defaults".

From my point it looks like a bug, where application should use System Preferences Language & Region.

@1P_Dave That's what we were told at the start of November. And in August. And in June. I hope you understand how that might make it feel hollow?

Hi folks,

Thanks for your patience, I'm happy to share an update has been added to our nightly build! Dates and times across the app should better respect the system locale:

If you're interested in checking it out, you can update your release channel in 1Password 8's preferences. With automatic updates turned on, this will push you to the nightly within 24 hours:

Keep in mind though that the nightly builds undergo less testing than their beta and production counterparts, so there is an increased risk of other unexpected behaviour. If you'd prefer to wait, the 1Password for Mac Beta Releases will have notes about upcoming changes but I'll continue to post here once this particular change makes it to beta.

Let me know if you have any questions and how it goes if you try out the nightly build. 😁

@andrew_l_1P
Do see that the date supports DD MMM YYYY in possible options as in MMM DD YYYY, YYYY MMM DD or any other. I'm specifying this as I'm looking at month being displayed as name only and not number. So there would never be any confusion for the date in any format. You can have number option but I shall prefer words. This also could be "DEC" or "DECEMBER" which should be fine to read.

Hi @vishalsheth,

Thanks for trying this out! I can certainly understand the benefit of different formats and I'm also personally a fan of the written month. I'll add your feedback to our tracker for this.

Let me know if you have any questions and thanks again. 🙂
