Problems when the Expiry Date and Expiring items detection...
Hi,
The detection of expired items does not work correctly for me and I think there is a problem with the date, at least in the case of OS in Spanish.
I think the problem could be related to the format of the date in Spanish (dd/mm/yyyy) used by the OS. My windows is in Spanish and setting 1P7 in both English and Spanish, in both cases the format of the expiry date field indicates dd/mm/yyyy and in both cases the expiring items detection doesn't work fine. I guess 1P7 always uses the OS date format.
I have also tried using the English format (mm/dd/yyyy) but the results I think are even getting worse.
I include some examples with the result that I hope you find useful:
01/11/2019 (item expired) vs 01/12/2019 (item not expired)
27/02/2019 (item expired)
01/04/2019 (item expired)
Of course, the date, time and time zone of the OS are correct.
That could be happening ?
Thanks in advance.
1Password Version: 7.3.657
Extension Version: n/a
OS Version: W7 Spanish Home Premium full updated
Sync Type: 1P7 standard

Hi @Carmelo,
Thanks for reporting this.
The date fields are converted to a timestamp that doesn't need time zone or localizations, so as long as you use your OS format to save the date, it'll be converted into a timestamp that we can later convert to the right date regardless of the OS settings you're using.
Here's what I'm doing, please let me know if something looks different.
- I've set my Windows and 1Password apps to Spanish. I've created a new Passport item and went down to the expiration date field:
- Note the placeholder, it is using dd/mm/yyyy. I set it to 1/12/2018 and it shows expired:
- Then test your example; 12/01/2019:
- 08/03/2019, expiring status:

Hi,
I just realized that there are two types of expired items (Expired & Expiring Soon) ....
In addition, the time in advance for the Expiring Soon items is different depending on the category.
All right. Thank you.
