I'm sorry to hear that your Mac crashed. The 1Password for Mac app is unlocked using the password of the first account or vault added to the app. If you were using a password that is not your 1Password account password to unlock the app before the crash then is it possible that you had a standalone vault or another account added to the app in addition to your 1Password account?
On your other devices do you see a "Primary" standalone vault? Standalone vaults are not part of your 1Password account and have their own password.
If your Mac supports Touch ID then I recommend enabling Touch ID for 1Password on your Mac which will save you from having to type in your account password in order to unlock 1Password: Use Touch ID to unlock 1Password on your Mac :)
