Date format is incorrect in 1Password for Mac

Hey there @philrob

This change is now available in the beta version of 1Password and will make its way to the Production version before long. If you'd like to use it now, you can follow the steps shown here to switch to the beta channel:

☞ Use 1Password beta releases

Please let me know if you have any questions, or would like any further help. :)

4 months on - any update on this? Even a 'We will... eventually... it is on the 'to do list"

Americans don't seem to realise just how disconcerting and off-putting their format is to the rest of the world - Users shouldn't have to guess whether 06/07/2022 - is June or July.

A quick fix would be to just switch the display format to the iso system yyyy-mm-dd - that way no-one gets confused and there is no need to check location settings.

More generally though, for a company trading internationally, respecting local settings should be part of core functionality coding standards: "Ensure that Local System Settings for date/time/language etc. are respected throughout the application"

Hi vishalsheth,

Thanks for trying this out! I can certainly understand the benefit of different formats and I'm also personally a fan of the written month. I'll add your feedback to our tracker for this.

Let me know if you have any questions and thanks again. 🙂

Do see that the date supports DD MMM YYYY in possible options as in MMM DD YYYY, YYYY MMM DD or any other. I'm specifying this as I'm looking at month being displayed as name only and not number. So there would never be any confusion for the date in any format. You can have number option but I shall prefer words. This also could be "DEC" or "DECEMBER" which should be fine to read.

Hi folks,

Thanks for your patience, I'm happy to share an update has been added to our nightly build! Dates and times across the app should better respect the system locale:

If you're interested in checking it out, you can update your release channel in 1Password 8's preferences. With automatic updates turned on, this will push you to the nightly within 24 hours:

Keep in mind though that the nightly builds undergo less testing than their beta and production counterparts, so there is an increased risk of other unexpected behaviour. If you'd prefer to wait, the 1Password for Mac Beta Releases will have notes about upcoming changes but I'll continue to post here once this particular change makes it to beta.

Let me know if you have any questions and how it goes if you try out the nightly build. 😁

1P_Dave That's what we were told at the start of November. And in August. And in June. I hope you understand how that might make it feel hollow?

Thank you everyone for your feedback. I've passed your comments along to the development team so that they're aware that the issue is affecting your workflows.

-Dave

1Password 8.9.8 (and previous versions) on MacOS doesn't display date and time according to the System Preferences.
I am using "English" language as preferred one, with "Poland" Region. In such configuration Date in the system is being displayed as DD/MM/YYYY and time is being displayed as HH:MM in 24-hour format.

Unfortunately 1Password still displays date as M/D/YYYY and time HH:MM AM/PM.
In 1Password Preferences for Language option in advanced Tab I have "Use system defaults".

From my point it looks like a bug, where application should use System Preferences Language & Region.

1Password Version: 8.9.8

Yes - and I add my voice to this.
Inconsistent date format is marginally worse than forcing us to use a date format used in only two (2) countries. At very least, use a non-ambiguous format: MMM DD YYYY.

I would just like to add my voice here as well.

I've just updated to 1Password 8 — finally — and immediately on opening the app, the bizarre dates just hit you right between the eyes.

No but seriously, it means an extra few seconds of mental processing every time your eyes come across a date, which has a significant impact on UX.
