Date format on Windows
This discussion was created from comments split from: Option to choose prefered date fields format.

I've seen this on Linux and Android too. I was recently copying a passport issue date from an item to find the month and day was reversed (m.d.yy, not d.m.yy).
I need to be able to trust the product, so please add a locale setting, or respect that of the device

Hello,
I'm on windows but this problem with not respecting the system format has long been with me (for as long as I use the Windows 1password version). My system has the dd.mm.yyyy format in the settings but 1password just ignores it.
It wouldn't be a big deal but sometimes we do need to copy the date from the field because it speeds up the process when filling out various visa applications etc. Also, I would suggest adding an option to choose a delimiter - I don't know about the US and Canada, but in the many countries outside North America dates use "." as delimiter (e.g. 13.12.2024), not a slash.
If there is an immediate workaround (e.g. modifying some registry entries or something) I would appreciate it if you let me know. Otherwise, let's hope you'll fix that in the upcoming releases.
Thank you.

Let me add to my comment above. I'm also a Mac user and I checked the date fields in my Mac version (and on my iPhone)- they seem to work ok and respect the system dates (and they even use the correct delimiter "."). So currently, for myself it is only the Windows version that has this issue.

Hello from Windows land. The Windows and Android apps also do not respect the system (YYYY-MM-DD) and just show MM/DD/YYYY (US). Windows date picker also does not have a YYYY toggle thus requiring a lot of clicking...

I use 1Password on several different platforms, mainly on Windows. The Windows app does not respect my system settings nor let me choose any other format. +1 from me too. This is hazardous, as I often need to double-check the format of a date as I can't trust the application, and have to go into the record and edit the date to be able to see what format it's displayed in.
