Thanks for your message.
1Password is the only app on my PC that integrates with Windows Hello; if, for example, I would see an unexpected 1Password authentication, then for sure that would alert me that it may be due to a malicious app, which is a risk with risk I can live.
I can't speak specifically to how malware may trigger a Windows Hello prompt. However, in this case, when using Enhanced Windows Hello, by opening 1Password - if it continues to be the only trusted software on your device using Windows Hello - you can be sure this prompt is coming from 1Password.
I hope this helps to relieve some concern, but please let us know if you have any other questions.
