Date format in date editing control does not respect locale settings
When viewing an entry with a date in it, it shows in the correct format - dd/MM/yyyy. You then hit the edit button, and it switches to MM/dd/yyyy.
As a side, the control is very hard to use, as yo...
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
This update resolves the issue reported by the original poster in this thread where you might have seen different date formats when viewing and when editing an item in certain situations.
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.

1P_Dave I agree the default should be ISO (not mm/dd/yyyy). The Windows app also does not respect system date format. Android app just has dashes (--/--/----) which is also a curious design decision but is also in mm/dd/yyyy. Finally, the graphical date picker does not have a year toggle so you have to endlessly scroll through months for distant dates. This has been an issue for ages (excuse the pun). How about a Settings option?

ModeratorThank you for the feedback, I'll pass along your requests regarding the date format to the team for consideration.

On which platform are you seeing this? If you're on mobile, can you open the year selector by tapping on the Month/Year? If you can't then can you post a screenshot of what you see?

I think the date pickers have been updated so the year/month selector is now present in both versions (Win and Android). Thanks!
The Android app (v. 8-10-70) now displays saved dates in YYYY-MM-DD (respecting the system setting - success!). However, it is displaying --/--/---- in a new item before a date is selected which is odd.
The Windows app (v. 8-10-70) does not respect the system setting. It displays dates as MM/DD/YYYY before and after a date is picked. All saved dates are in the US format.
So, partly resolved! Thanks for following up.

I'm glad that the date picker is now working for you. Can you post a screenshot of your Windows date format and Language & Region settings? I'll pass this along to the developers who are working on the issue.
