Incorrect date input format

When editing an entry, the app uses US date format (mm/dd/yyyy), despite the fact that my OS is using the British locale (dd/mm/yyyy).

When displaying the same entry, the British date format is used.

Hello @shatnersbassoon! 👋

I'm sorry that the date format isn't being accurately reflected in 1Password. 1Password should respect the system date format but there are cases where that isn't occurring, such as if you have a different region set from your preferred language, and our development team is actively working on the issue.

I apologize for the inconvenience and hopefully this will be fully resolved in a future update.

This still isn't fixed. Can someone please give this some attention as it is very annoying/confusing for the majority of the world that does not use mm/dd/yyyy. I'm in the UK and my Mac is set for dd/mm/yyyy date format and although 1Password does correctly display dates according to that format, when I have to input or modify a date it reverts to using mm/dd/yyyy.

@shatnersbassoon and @ChrisJenkins 

Thank you for your patience. Our developers are testing a fix in the latest beta version of the 1Password desktop app. Would you mind temporary switching to the beta version to see if the fix resolves the issues that you're seeing:


If you still see the issue with Beta 8.10.80-18 (or later) can you post screenshot of what you see in the 1Password app and your current operating system region/date settings?

Hi @1P_Dave I just installed 8.10.80-18 beta and it does indeed fix the issue for me. Date input fields now adopt the format from my Mac's regional date settings, as they should. Regards, Chris
