Hi @jimmypepa,
Thank you for writing in to ask about that! I'm sorry to hear you're getting that error message. That error is related to a certificate issue in the Mac App Store that can affect various apps (not just 1Password). You should be able to solve it by following the steps here: If you see the message "1Password is damaged and can't be opened"
Don't worry, your data is safe! Even if you need to delete & reinstall the 1Password app, you won't lose any of your data because that's stored in another location on your Mac (and not in the app file itself). When deleting the app, just make sure you don't use any app cleaning tools, as those can accidentally delete your data.
Hopefully this helps, but if you have more questions or need anything else, just let us know! :)
