Looks like a good alternative to AWS Secret manager https://aws.amazon.com/secrets-manager/

AWS Secret Manager is for application code to retrieve secrets for different services (e.g. API Keys, DBs, etc). You can't use 1Password for that.
Similarly, you wouldn't store your Twitter, Facebook, NPM, Hex, etc. accounts in AWS Secret Manager. You'd use 1Password for that use case.
AWS Secret Manager is a password manager for servers. Just like HashiCorp's Vault: https://www.vaultproject.io/
1Password is a password manager for humans :)
