Welcome to the community! While 1Password does protect your data as much as possible on your device, it can't protect you against malware that has completely compromised your system. It's important to take other measures to prevent being infected by malware and to only use 1Password on devices that are safe and that you trust. You can read more here: How 1Password protects information on your devices (and when it can’t)
That being said, we have a feature called passkey unlock that is currently being tested in a public beta. Passkey unlock allows you to unlock 1Password using a passkey stored in another authenticator app or on a security key like a Yubikey, it sounds like the feature that you're looking for. You can read more here:
I don't have an ETA on when passkey unlock will make it to normal accounts, currently you need to create a new test account to try the feature. Let me know if you have any questions.
