    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.

It's mid-June 2024 and I can't believe this is still a not-fully-fixed issue after being reported two years ago. 😞 Is it really so hard to fix this properly?
You certainly made some improvements as now I can finally see dates in 1Password using the format configured in macOS. Although the time is still shown using the 12-hour clock, while my macOS configuration is set to the 24-hour clock.

I hope the screenshot below clearly shows the problem on macOS.
- On the left side, it's a crop of the settings for date & time taken from my macOS "Language & Region" settings. Please note that I use ISO 8601 for both date and time.
- On the right side, it's a crop of how 1Password formats a datetime. It mostly gets it right, except not using 24-hour format.

Another problem is that when I edit a date field in 1Password, the field uses the US format (MM/DD/YYYY). Which is very strange (and confusing!) as my macOS language is set to English (Canada) and I have customized the format for dates in macOS to be ISO 8061 (YYYY-MM-DD). Did you guys just hardcode the US format for date fields? 😀

When I look at the same password item, the date is shown using the ISO 8061 format, so respecting my OS settings. Good job on that as it was also shown in the US format before. 👍

Forgot to mention above, but I'm on the latest versions of 1Password and macOS at the time of writing (2024-06-14).
