I would suggest heading over to System Preferences > Touch ID: Uncheck/disable the box for unlocking your Mac and then enable it. You will need to enter your macOS user password in the authentication prompt. Follow that with checking 1Password to make sure Touch ID is enabled within the app. 1Password > Preferences > Security.

I have seen this occur occasionally after macOS updates.
