Should do anything about 1P controlling Chrome's passwords?
I read recently that there is some kind of security problem with Chrome saving passwords, I checked and mine says that 1P is controlling this setting but there is sometimes a difference between the Chrome password and the one saved in 1P (maybe grandfathered into the former), is there anything I should do to stay safe other than updating Chrome? (Like turning the setting off, deleting all saved passwords, then turning 1P back on in Chrome say?)
1Password Version: 7.9.828
Extension Version: 2.1.4
OS Version: Windows Home 64bit

I'd recommend removing any passwords saved in Chrome, if for no other reason than having redundancy between Chrome and 1Password will inevitably lead to confusion and conflicts. Google has an article which explains how to remove these passwords, here:
Manage passwords - Computer - Google Chrome Help
I hope that helps!

Ok thanks--is there any way to do this all at once? I have about 60-70 saved in there.

We're a bit outside the scope of 1Password support here and as such I'm sorry I don't have definitive information on that. I did a search and was able to find this comment which may be helpful:

I hope it works out. :)

Thanks--it seems to have worked (Ctrl-Shift-Delete when in the settings, then selecting Passwords).
