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.

Here is a screenshot of all the settings in Language & Region.

Thanks for confirming that. Right now, it seems that if the Region is set to United Kingdom, dates will show as dd/mm/yyyy with 24-hour time, but for any other region, it'll use mm/dd/yyyy and 12-hour time.

Our development team are investigating why this is and are looking to address it as soon as they can.

Thanks for the update @GreyM1P . It does sound odd, as others have mentioned. I look forward to seeing this fixed.

Why is there even a suggestion to use system format? I feel that could be an option but also allow your format directly. Like today is 19th January 2023 so options should be as follows.
1) 19 January 2023
2) 19 Jan 2023
3) DDMMMYYYY
4) MMMDDYYYY
5) YYYYMMMDD
And all possible formats. I'm interested that month should be in alphabets so there's no confusion for dates. This should work with all regions in the world.
You can also add galaxy time format of you're planning to get subscribe from there too.(this is on a lighter note).

Hi @vishalsheth, apologies if I misunderstood the first time you posted this. It sounds like you would prefer to see an option to choose date formats within 1Password itself, is this correct? I'd be interested in understanding your use case better and how this would benefit you compared to the app using the system date format. Let me know and I'd be happy to record your feedback. 🙂

@andrew_l_1P
It’s simple. The system could have any format or region. I’m interested in the date format that’s DDMMMYYYY. I may have changed my system format or for keyboard. The month has to appear in words only. So if I’m reading date on any format I cannot read the date wrong. The date could be fed in any format but still reads the same. I’m concerned with what’s displayed and how data is feed.

My impression is that many apps use the system format. That would be sufficient for me, though I take @vishalsheth 's point.

@hsafer
It should be. But my main interest is to have date and year in numbers but month in words. There are times if we go by system where I may be using small format but here I would like to see the complete date to avoid any miss reads.
Intact I’ve also suggest to be able to sheet on export of different documents.
