LastPass stores passwords so securely, not even its users can access them

It’s surprising to me that the “master key” system on 1Password proved difficult for your users. For me, this is one of the simplest things about it: you remember one password that unlocks everything else.

Am I talking about the same thing as you when I call this password the “master key”? I feel like I must be as this is flat-out the thing that makes 1Password easy to use.

There are four bits of information you need with 1Password teams

1. The team address <team>.1password.com

2. Your login name (email usually)

3. Your 'secret key'

4. Your 'master password'

I suspect GP is talking about item #3 being the point of confusion.

Ah, that might be it - I was talking as an individual user rather than imagining a team deployment.

They are talking about the "Secret Key" that is used in addition to your "Master Password." It was previously called an "Account Key."
