Date format is incorrect in 1Password for Mac
Hi, greetings from the UK.
I noticed that the date / time format for created / modified uses North American format (ie. back to front for us Brits).
Could this be changed to use the locale of the user please?
Many thanks.
1Password Version: 8.7.1
Extension Version: 2.3.5
OS Version: macOS 12.4
Browser:_ Firefox 101.0
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.

I came there to report the same thing. I have YYYY-MM-DD set as date format in macOS (13.4)
In 8.10.7 the date editor uses YYYY-MM-DD (but without leading zeros) but the display is still DD/MM/YYYY
I just switched from 1P7 to 1P8 and ran into this frequently. It's really hard to always read and understand the dates in 1P8 correctly, especially because all other software shows the dates in the right notation. Please, please fix this and show you care as much about non-US customers. This is so unlike the 1Password quality I knew..

Hello SebDanielsson! 👋
I'm sorry that 1Password isn't correctly localizing the date and time to match what you've set in macOS. This is a known issue that our developers have in their backlog and that we hope to fix in a future update. Of the two options that you presented we're aiming for the first: 1Password should match the locale settings of macOS on your Mac.
Thank you for taking the time to report this issue to us. 🙂

As a Mac user in Sweden but who prefer to have the system language set to English it would be really nice we could change the date and time format in 1Password. I've set the date format in macOS settings to the ISO standard which is what we use in Sweden but 1Password doesn't respect that and seems to default to the format that's used for the set language.
I would like 1Password to either:
1. Use the date and time format that's configured for the operating system. In my case: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS
2. Or offer an option inside 1Password to override the default MM/DD/YYYY 12 hour clock behavior.Note that the separators in the ISO standard separate year, month and day with dashes and not slashes😉

I'm sorry for the inconvenience. This is on our developer's backlog and I've added your reports to the internal work item open for the issue. We plan to get this fixed in a future update to 1Password.

Why is it difficult to update the date format? Allow all possible options be available and let users choose which ever they want. The chosen format would remain for 1password.
