Thanks for the reply. If you have iCloud Keychain turned on then 1Password already stores the equivalent of your Emergency Kit (your email address and Secret Key) in iCloud Keychain in an encrypted state. This is done to backup your Secret Key and to make it easier to setup 1Password on new devices.
Regarding the account password: my recommendation is that you create a unique and memorable account password that you commit to memory. You can download and print your Emergency Kit, write down the account password on the printed copy, and then store the Emergency Kit in a personal safe or lockbox for emergencies. But your account password should be something that you can type in from memory whenever 1Password prompts you for it.
Let me know if you have any questions. 🙂
