Change date format...
Hi! I couldn't find any answers related to the new 'date' entries you can save for 1Password items. The default format is American, which for me is really bad. It always confuses me and it is quite...

Good news for your question! We recently made a change where 1Password will follow the date format of the region you set on your device. I'm happy to share more specific steps for switching your region, if you want to share which devices and operating systems you're using.
Hi, 1P_SimonH​!
Thanks for the quick reply.
I'm on Mac and I know how to change my system settings. What setting is the one used in 1Password, though? Currently, my region is set to Germany, the Time Zone is set to Western Indonesia Time. Primary language is set to English (US). Date and Currency formats follow the German format (e. g. dates are displayed in DD/MM/YYYY).
Shouldn't this be enough? 1Password still uses the American date format, though. What version of 1Password is needed for this to be in effect?

Hi neun34tel,
This feature requires 8.10.80 or higher. For the Mac, the date format currently corresponds to the default date format associated with your currently selected preferred language rather than the region, so it follows the setting here:
Customizations beyond the default date format aren't supported but our developers are considering further improvements to accommodate folks who might want their date format to differ from the default for that language.
Hello, 1P_SimonH​!
Thanks for the clarification.
Unfortunately this is far from optimal for me. So yes, I'm one of the people wanting my date format to differ from the default for the language.
This also means that the date display will differ between my Mac and Windows machines, because on Windows this is already possible, right? This is a total nightmare!
Right now I cannot really trust dates in 1Password... I hope it will be resolved soon!
