2FA helps prevent unauthorized access from new devices, but it does not protect against local device compromise. Since, in that case, the attacker had already gained access to the victim’s computer, they could log into 1Password using the stolen credentials and even disable 2FA if needed. In this case, the keylogger intercepted the user’s account password before 2FA could act as a barrier.
Please see my colleague's post here for more details on what you can do to protect yourself from a similar attack: Did 1Password get hacked? The Disney Employee said hackers got into his 1password account.
