Yeah, greenclip didn't work for me, either, since its blacklist feature depends on having a named clipboard and 1Password apparently doesn't name theirs.

I eventually landed on clipmenu, which seems to be working well so far. It is a bit harder to configure (it relies on environment variables), but it's 100% written in bash, so it's easy to install and try. So far, I like it. Setting CM_IGNORE_WINDOW=".*1Password$" as an environment variable works to have it ignore anything app-related. That said, I use i3wm, so I'm not sure how well it would work with KDE.
