As long as 1Password is locked, your data is fully encrypted, so can't be read by anyone else. You should turn off Windows Hello for 1Password so that a nefarious repair technician can't use your Windows password or PIN to unlock 1Password. Here's what to do:

Please let me know if you have any questions, or would like any further help. :)
