@moi: Since version 6.3.3, 1Password for Mac is using a .pkg installer to comply with Apple's security recommendations for Sierra, and this does require admin rights to run.
That's just a bit of background since the answer to your question is pretty complex, given we don't know anything about your system and what you're downloading/installing. If you originally downloaded 1Password directly from Apple or AgileBits, it will validate the connection to the update server and check the installer before updating. In that case, nothing to worry about. If you are just now manually downloading the installer directly from our site, you can verify the signature as shown in this post. If you're not sure on either count, just download a fresh copy now and you can check the installer's signature before proceeding:

I hope this helps. Be sure to let me know if you have any other questions! :)
