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.

For me the issue got fixed when I switched my system language to "English (UK)". Now the date format in 1Password matches what I select in system settings.
Same, incredibly risky for passport information - so much risk exposure. It's incredible that this is so difficult to fix.
Seems like it's finally fixed for me. I did cycle the regional settings to something else and then back, idk if related.This just bit me again with passport details. I hate to say it, but this issue is undermining my trust in the Mac version of 1Password.
I really fail to understand this. It’s been more than 2 years now with the date issue. Is it so hard to solve it? 1pw8 should give all possible format and let the user decide whatever format they want to use.
Agree 100%. The best worldwide format is YYYYMMDD or YYYY-MM-DD to make reading easier. Need to configure it one time for all date fields in 1Pwd.
I would really like to have control over how the date is handled / displayed regardless of what the "standard" localized format would be.
Not having control over this can create a lot of confusion, especially if you're using shared vaults with team members from different countries or regions.The corp could decide on a specific format that is different from the localized convention.
YYYYMMDD is by far the most useful format for digital records IMO for various reasons, but the user needs to have control over this.sema, you mean changing system language, right? I can also change languages in 1Password itself, but there is no "English (UK)", and changing that to German or Spanish for example doesn't change anything.
However changing the system language is not a fix, it just shows what the bug is all about: System language should have no effect on date and time formats. That's what local/region settings are for.
Changing system language from English (US) to English (UK) is not something I want to do, as it has other undesired effects, e.g. renaming "Trash" to "Bin", ...
Wow! It works! Even without changing my language to English (UK). Hooray!
