Date format is incorrect in 1Password for Mac

Hi Andrew, Thanks for looking. I'm on macOS Ventura 13.0.1. I'm now seeing a much more obvious issue, where all dates in 1Password appear to be in U.S. MM/DD/YYY format, even though my macOS System Settings -> General -> Language & Region -> Date Format is in "29/08/2023" format. I set up a Family account and added family members who live in the U.S., if that's at all related. I'd really like to see my dates in the local DD/MM/YYYY format though.

Hi @jcocula,

Thanks for surfacing this, I can certainly see how this would cause confusion. I wasn't able to reproduce the behaviour locally, could you tell me which macOS version you're using?

Here are the steps I took:
1. Create a new item
2. Quit 1Password 8
3. Changed region under Mac settings > General > Language & Region
4. Launch 1Password 8
5. Edit that same item

Let me know if you see any differences! We've got a fix for the app better respecting system setting date formats in beta right now which may help, I'll keep an eye out to see if I can confirm.

I've been using 1Password for many years but I've just seen that each record's created and modified dates are shown as the system setting that was in effect when the record was created or modified.

Example: Today is 31 December 2022. I have system set to U.S. locale, with dates in M/D/Y format. Create a record and save. Change system settings to Ireland locale with dates in D/M/Y format. Edit record and save. The record now reports created on 12/31/2022 and modified on 31/12/2022.

You can have a record that shows 31/12/2022 as modified date and 1/20/2020 as created date. But if the day of the month is between 1 and 12, you have no idea what you're looking at. Someone who travels or moves will experience this. This makes it impossible to reliably interpret the created and modified dates, which can lead to real problems, especially with shared vaults.

I'm waiting right by the door with you Mycenius 😁

Thanks GreyM1P - it will be good to finally have this resolved - its been a long wait for all of us outside of the USA.... :-)

Mycenius – It's still in beta for now, but should be in the Production version before too long. :)

andrew_l_1P the dates are still displaying incorrectly in Windows FYI (I haven't had a chance to also check my MacBook as yet). Should this have rolled out by now? Screen snip below FYI (my regional settings are for New Zealand so should be displaying DD/MM/YYYY):

I'm looking forward to this as well, crisrich58! The release notes that Grey links above are inclusive of production versions so you can keep an eye out there, you can also turn on automatic updates: How to keep 1Password up to date

We can't say when exactly the next release will be, but we'll be here to help with any questions or feedback once you try it out. 🙂

I'm waiting for that to become an official release in the production version too. People have asked for this for some years now, as we can see on other posts about this.
It's not just a more "English (UK)" style of date. It's a global style of date, except for the USA.
