I'm not sure about 1password, but with Lastpass, the passwords were encrypted, but not the URLs for each site. Whoever has the lastpass vault knows what sites were associated with each account, and can start targeting accounts which look valuable.

Also, and I don't mean to scare the people who use 1password, they (LastPass) lied about the extent of the encryption. Many technical details they either omitted or lied about until they HAD to reveal the true extent of the hacks that had occurred. I know, I was a LP user unfortunately. Now comfortable at Bitwarden, but 1password was an option I considered.
