All of the data in your 1Password account is end-to-end encrypted using both your account password and Secret Key. Without both your account password and Secret Key it is impossible for anyone to decrypt the data in your 1Password account. They are the tools needed to decrypt your information.
The email address associated with your 1Password account is needed as part of the authentication process but it's not needed as part of the decryption process. And if you enable two-factor authentication for your 1Password account then authentication will fail unless the one-time passcode generated by your authenticator app is entered when signing into your 1Password account on a new device.
You can read more about the security of your 1Password account here: About the 1Password security model
Please let me know if you have any questions. :)
