Just wanted to address a couple of points in this thread:

Your iPhone passcode cannot unlock 1Password. You need your account password or biometrics (Face ID or Touch ID) to unlock it. It's worth mentioning, though, that if you're already in a situation where someone has threatened you to make you reveal one secret (your iPhone passcode), it's quite plausible they'll also want a second (your 1Password account password).
By that point, if someone is that determined, there isn't really anything you can do.
With the basic phone passcode they can see all 1Password passwords, as they show up under iOS settings>Passwords!
Your 1Password items shouldn't be appearing here! If you imported your passwords from iCloud Keychain, but didn't delete them from Keychain afterwards, that may explain it, but 1Password does not put anything in that list.
