Thanks for the reply. It sounds like you've installed the 1Password extension for Safari but not the desktop app. Is that correct? If it is then you'll need to also install the desktop app since it gives 1Password the ability to use Touch ID on your Mac:

Once you've installed 1Password for Mac, and added your account, you can follow the 5 steps in my previous post to turn on Touch ID unlock.

If that doesn't work, or if you already have the desktop app installed and setup, then please let me know.
