Date format is incorrect in 1Password for Mac

Hi @jcocula,

Thanks for surfacing this, I can certainly see how this would cause confusion. I wasn't able to reproduce the behaviour locally, could you tell me which macOS version you're using?

Here are the steps I took:
1. Create a new item
2. Quit 1Password 8
3. Changed region under Mac settings > General > Language & Region
4. Launch 1Password 8
5. Edit that same item

Let me know if you see any differences! We've got a fix for the app better respecting system setting date formats in beta right now which may help, I'll keep an eye out to see if I can confirm.

Hi Andrew, Thanks for looking. I'm on macOS Ventura 13.0.1. I'm now seeing a much more obvious issue, where all dates in 1Password appear to be in U.S. MM/DD/YYY format, even though my macOS System Settings -> General -> Language & Region -> Date Format is in "29/08/2023" format. I set up a Family account and added family members who live in the U.S., if that's at all related. I'd really like to see my dates in the local DD/MM/YYYY format though.

1Password shows dates (e.g. modified, created dates) in US region format (MM/DD/YYYY). I would expect 1Password to show dates formatted for my current macOS regional preferences (DD/MM/YYYY)

Hi @simonwhitaker 👋🏻

Thanks for your feedback. Our developers are aware of this and are working on a fix, I've added your feedback to the internal tracking issue we have open. Apologies for any interruption to your workflow that this has caused, we hope to to have the fix released soon.

Hi again!

I have now updated to 1Password 8.9.12 on macOS, on the production channel. (This is the version that lists proper localisation in its release notes.) I have restarted 1Password, and for good measure, I have restarted the Mac as well. I still see US-style dates and times in 1Password.

How do I get the localisation to work? Am I missing some configuration toggle or something?

Okay, with 1P 8.9.12 for Mac, the date formatting appears to be fixed, i.e. it follows the system setting. The time format does not. I work in 24 hour clock format, e.g. 13:45 or 09:34 without the am/pm notation and this is how my system is set (macOS Catalina, 10.15.7), but times on 1P entries are still in hh:mm:ss am/pm. I would have thought aligning the time format with the system settings would be part and parcel of fixing the date format.

I hope a resolution to this is not going to be another 7 months in the making.
Why is it apparently so difficult?

Still showing a US format for me in Germany. I'm on 8.9.13 (80913040)

Here are my region settings for more context.

Appreciate the additional info, @jcocula! I did some more testing and it seems the "Region" is what dictates the date format. I'd also expect the "Date format" option to override this so I'll bring that up internally for some further investigation. In the meantime, try changing the region in your Mac settings and let me know if you see better results:

the date formatting appears to be fixed... The time format does not. I work in 24 hour clock format... but times on 1P entries are still in hh:mm:ss am/pm. I would have thought aligning the time format with the system settings would be part and parcel of fixing the date format."

I will have to jump on my MacBook pro and see if its exhibiting the dame behaviour... Like you @BusterBill I'm a 24-hour clock format fan!
