Mac: date displays in UK format but copies in US format, iOS: no zero padding on dates
1st issue - 1Password for Mac 8.10.82 (81082029) On Mac, when I click copy on this date "30/06/2025" (UK format) the value it copies to my clipboard is "06/30/2025" (US format) which is not what I e...
I can’t believe this error is still open (the oldest mention is from 4 years ago!). Many users have been complaining for such a long time. I ran into it again today copying a passport expiration date. If you don’t notice this error you can get into a serious trouble checking in for your next international flight.
The only response we get until now is that it is being tracked … When will the tracking change to solving?

ModeratorI'm sorry for the frustration caused. Dates being copied to the clipboard with the wrong date format is a bug that was first reported in July of this year, can you clarify the issue that you've been running into for 4 years when using 1Password? Are you seeing dates in the wrong format in the 1Password app? Or are they being displayed correctly but copied to the clipboard incorrectly? Can you also tell me which preferred language you're using for your operating system and what kind of device you're using?
There are a few different date issues that our team is looking into and I want to make sure that we're talking about the same issue.

This specific problem was already mentioned 12 months ago. See https://www.1password.community/discussions/1password/date-formats-for-passport-expiry-and-issuance-fields-dont-match/83283
But more specifically I'm referring to the multiple problems with date formatting which started (at least) 4 years ago already ... Wrong date/time format MacOS 12.3 | 1Password Community
There has been an almost endless litany of users complaining about the various issues with date formatting and half-baked work-arounds. Mac system software provided proper conversions to all/most locales since the start in the 80's and it remains unclear Agilebits can provide an excellent password manager but not get this issue resolved.
Please read your own response in the second link above and you must feel sorry for us long time 1Password users still suffering from such a fundamental functionality deficit ...- 1P_Dave
Thank you for the reply. This specific thread is about an issue where dates copied to the clipboard from 1Password for Mac aren't using the correct date format. Are you running into other date format issues currently as well? Such as when viewing or editing an item in the 1Password for Mac desktop app?
If you are then can you tell me what language is the preferred language for macOS (macOS > System Settings > General > Language & Region) and what date format you see in 1Password?
Earlier this year, we shipped significant improvements to date formatting in the 1Password app that resolved a lot of the old issues that were reported to us but there's still more work to be done and I'd like to confirm your specific situation.

I guess my issue is the same.
Preferred language English (UK), region Netherlands (Mac Desktop Sequoia 15.6.1, 1P 8.11.10 (81110037)).
An ID-card expiration date is displayed as 07/03/2027 (= 7 March 2027 in European locale) in 1Password. When I copy/paste it it shows as 03/07/2029 which is 3 July 2029 in English (as well Dutch) locale ... Good luck when checking in for an international flight these days ...
