can a person not gain access or change your master password with your secret key?

The Secret Key alone is not sufficient to access your account or make changes. The account password would be required as well.

Sorry forgot to mention, I was told to turn off the iCloud KeyChain and if you have passwords on it you should erase them. You should only have 1Password turned on in autofill password option.

Instructions on turning off saving/filling to/from iCloud Keychain can be found here:
