You can disable every animation in OS X itself via the command line (defaults write). I put them all in a shell script that I run on new installs. You may be out of luck with 1Password.

Unfortunately, not every animation. In particular, the Spaces transition animations that the OP is complaining about is not one of the ones you can disable with `defaults.write`.

I re-check if it's been added with every new macOS release; no luck so far :(

One way to make the Spaces animation tolerable is to enable "Reduce motion" in Accessibility preferences.
