Can I set up separate passkeys for each family member?
User’s are my wife and I. She is not great with software in general. She doesn’t like my unlock password. She wants something simpler. I would like her to have her own vault that she can unlock with whatever password she chooses, and I’d like that to only unlock her vault, not our shared vault, which password I want to keep as is. Is that possible to do? I am a family plan user.
Working with less technically inclined folks, especially family, is a real challenge and working out when and how to compromise is a constantly evolving skill.
It sounds like your wife is using your 1Password account despite having a Family plan. It seems likely that she is using your account(s) on your device(s), too. She needs to have her own 1Password account as a member of the Family and her own account on any shared devices. She will have her own Private vault in addition to any vaults shared with you.
This will involve work, most of which you'll need to do, with her co-operation. The benefit for her is that she will end up with everything set up for her needs and preferences, with you able to guide and support her.
PS. Your mention of passkeys in the title suggests that I may have completely misunderstood your question despite re-reading it several times, though in that case I plan to blame you.

Hi MS! Thanks for writing in.
It looks like AJCxZ0 has pointed you in the right direct, so hopefully you're all set! I just wanted to jump in and share our guide for adding family members to an account, as well as a 1Password Families overview that links out to some other useful information.
If there's anything we can help with, just let me know!

Thanks very much - I didn’t realize each family member can have their own account
