As a small update, there is a workaround available:

  1. If 1Password is running, right-click the 1Password icon at the top right of your macOS menu bar, and choose Quit 1Password Completely.
  2. Open Finder and go to: ~/Library/Containers/com.agilebits.onepassword7/Data/Library
  3. Locate Preferences and move it to Trash.
  4. Go to: ~/Library/Group Containers/2BUA8C4S2C.com.agilebits/Library
  5. Locate Preferences and move it to Trash.
  6. Open Terminal and run the following command: killall cfprefsd
  7. Open and unlock 1Password, and confirm that your default keyboard shortcuts are in place.

Note that the steps do completely reset 1Password's preferences, so you'd need to re-set any customizations, including auto-lock and biometry/Apple Watch preferences. I hope that helps until a better solution can be found.
