Organizing Password/Secure Notes in proper Folders ?
Came from lastpass, I had my folder names as
FOLDER NAME for login items
::FOLDER NAME:: for secure notes
1password properly imported everything, how can I organize this things properly ?

If you mean tags if you talk about 52 folders, in my opinion 52 different tags are too much. My rule of thumb is that the tag tree must fit into the visible area of the desktop client without scrolling. I almost achieved that - scrolling is just a few lines, actually. Scrolling reduces clarity.
Generalize and decide on the most important 10-13 top level tags and try to fit your items into these. Sometimes, a few sub-tags might be good, if items fitting one top level category should be sub-categorized. My "Household" tag is one of these, or the "Family" tag (contains sub-tags for 2 persons).
Tags that only contain a single entry or two entries are not worth keeping. Find a higher level tag name that fits more entries.
However, I don't know how many items you manage. I manage 200 items with 13 top level tags, and 4 tags of these have 1 to 4 sub-tags. That's quite many, in my opinion, and I always try to find ways to reduce this.
