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.

Hey folks,
Thanks for bringing this back up. While I can't share any specifics, this is something we're aware of, and hopefully we can have the created/modified dates follow system-wide date format settings soon.

I would prefer the date in format (date) (month) (year) for eg. 15 August 2022. The month to always be alphabets and not numbers. The representation does better and there’s no confusion for any reason.
+1 for this as it should have been fixed months ago.
Is there no update on this? The idea that simple localisation needs to be 'investigated' and 'hopefully sorted out in the future' is baffling to me. You're a company that has been developing software for an extended period of time. Not being able to take into account the locale is such a basic thing.
+1 to this - please make date & time match local system format!
+1 please fix this; US format is non-sensical for people in Europe and confusing, e.g.
and fix the time, please as well, so it can be shown in 24h format
Agree - it's a major failure to not understand the rest of the entire world does not use archaic US formats for time/date, distances/weights, etc...
I just noticed this same issue when looking at an entry. The bad date format completely confused me as I didn't realise the entry marked
8/11/2002 meant 11 August!1password must respect the local date format on the system, or allow overriding. this is basic for all applications
