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...

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 ...

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 ...

Thank you for clarifying. We're currently testing a fix for the issue in the latest nightly versions of 1Password and I've confirmed that the fix addresses your specific scenario as well:
Using the nightly version, when I copy a date using DD/MM/YYYY it pastes as DD/MM/YYYY. If you'd like to help us test the fix then you can find instructions on how to try the nightly version here (the nightly version isn't tested by our QA team and so it might contain more bugs than usual): Use 1Password beta or nightly releasesIf you're not interested in trying the nightly then no worries, we hope to release the fix to the beta and then to the production version as soon as possible. Thanks again for your patience.
