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.

Still broken for me on both macOS 8.10.13 and iOS 8.10.14. Region is set to Germany on both. Primary prefered language is English (US), secondary German (Germany), but that shouldn't have any influence at all if using locale correctly.
Problem still hasn't been solved here. I'm on 1Password for Mac 8.10.13 (81013005), region is set to The Netherlands. In edit mode the date-format is correct:
When viewing the item, it's still in the silly mm/dd/yyyy format:
These are my region settings:

Can you please make sure that you're running version 8.10.12 or later which includes improvements for how 1Password handles the date format set by macOS. If you are seeing the issue on the latest version of 1Password then, to help our developers investigate further, can you please post a screenshot of the following screen:
- Click on the in the menu bar.
- Click System Settings.
- Click General.
- Click Language & Region.
Please post the screenshot here. Thank you!

+1 again. This is really important - the US is the only place using the confusing MDY format of dates and it makes things difficult for the rest of the world.

Understood, I posted the suggestion just in case it would be helpful to you or to someone else with similar settings. Our goal here is to completely fix the issue for everyone so that workarounds aren't necessary.
I've forwarded the information that you provided to our developers. Hopefully we'll have more news to share in a future update soon. Thank you again for your patience.

if I have "English (US)" set as primary under Preferred Languages. But if English (UK) is primary then 1Password displays the date format correctly
Interesting. Unfortunately I’m hesitant to make “English (UK)” the primary language because I mostly write US English for work and auto-correction would be confusing. Goes without saying, but ideally I’d like 1Password to adhere to the system’s setting for date formatting irrespective of the primary language.

Thank you for posting a screenshot showing your date and region settings in macOS. I've passed those along to our development team so that they can investigate further.
Thanks for the screenshots as well. I can reproduce the same issue that you're running into if I have "English (US)" set as primary under Preferred Languages. But if English (UK) is primary then 1Password displays the date format correctly. I'll let our developers know about this and I'm posting it here in case it helps you in the meantime. You might need to click on another item and then back onto an affected item after changing the language to see the difference.

I'm happy to hear that 8.10.12 resolved the issue for you both. 🙂
