Date field format does not match system settings
In the macOS client, I was just entering the details for a new item and notice the date fields are using mm/dd/yyyy as template.
The macOS system settings are set to dd/mm/yyyy.
This inconsistency can be confusing and a cause of errors. Would be great if 1password could follow the system settings.
Hello pepijnve! 👋
I'm sorry that 1Password for Mac doesn't match the date format that you have set for macOS itself when editing an item. This is a known issue that our development team is aware of and is working on a fix for.
Keep an eye on our release notes which will mention a fix as soon as it is released: https://releases.1password.com/

-Dave 1Password has had problems with date formatting for input and display since v8 first came out years ago, with little progress in that time. They fix date related problems in one area, and introduce new issues elsewhere.
I don't know whether its the same for you, but for me, whilst entering a date, the format is mm/dd/yyyy but then when not editing, the same date switches to dd/mm/yyyy format as it should be for my locale.
I know dealing with dates can be complicated in programming in general, but this has been going on for years, and is a fundamental aspect of the app, yet remains unfixed after all this time.
They've even recently added an expiration date field to items in the beta, but this suffers from the same ancient date formatting bugs as other date fields. You'd think they'd fix the date formatting functionality first, before introducing new date related features that just highlight these bugs.
