"1Password needs to update some of its files, which requires the password you use to log in to Mac"
Pop up window appeared when restarting my Mac: "Odd window popped up this morning: "1Password needs to update some of its files, which requires the password you use log in your Mac." Is legitimate or a fishing attempt?.

When you initially installed 1Password, you would have likely seen an authorization prompt. 1Password needed admin access to install/modify files to run properly. What you are seeing is 1Password attempting to update those files. It's normal for apps to request this type of access when they need elevated access to files and folders.
You should always be aware and cautious of apps requesting such access, and make sure it's one you trust. Thank you for reaching out to confirm the details.
If it helps, we released 1Password 7.8 yesterday and that's likely the cause of the prompt.
