4 years agoDate 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.

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 no change for me as of v8.9.15 on macOS. Times and dates in 1Password remain stubbornly in US format, regardless of system settings.

I’ve observed something new and different. When I look at an item with date the date format is DD/MM/YY. When I edit the same contacts it’s showing me DDMMMYYYY. My suggestion was that it appears in DDMMMYYYY format and show all orders. This is on iOS.
On android it’s different. On my pixel it’s yyyy-mm-dd. This is when I open an item. In edit it’s Dd/m/yyyy. - andrew_l_1P

It should be. But my main interest is to have date and year in numbers but month in words. There are times if we go by system where I may be using small format but here I would like to see the complete date to avoid any miss reads.
Intact I’ve also suggest to be able to sheet on export of different documents. - hsaferOccasional Contributor
My impression is that many apps use the system format. That would be sufficient for me, though I take vishalsheth 's point.

It’s simple. The system could have any format or region. I’m interested in the date format that’s DDMMMYYYY. I may have changed my system format or for keyboard. The month has to appear in words only. So if I’m reading date on any format I cannot read the date wrong. The date could be fed in any format but still reads the same. I’m concerned with what’s displayed and how data is feed. - andrew_l_1P

Hi vishalsheth, apologies if I misunderstood the first time you posted this. It sounds like you would prefer to see an option to choose date formats within 1Password itself, is this correct? I'd be interested in understanding your use case better and how this would benefit you compared to the app using the system date format. Let me know and I'd be happy to record your feedback. 🙂

Why is there even a suggestion to use system format? I feel that could be an option but also allow your format directly. Like today is 19th January 2023 so options should be as follows.
1) 19 January 2023
2) 19 Jan 2023
3) DDMMMYYYY
4) MMMDDYYYY
5) YYYYMMMDD
And all possible formats. I'm interested that month should be in alphabets so there's no confusion for dates. This should work with all regions in the world.
You can also add galaxy time format of you're planning to get subscribe from there too.(this is on a lighter note). - 1P_Dave
