Hey, Richard, judging from your bio I’d say you probably know the answer to this better than I would!

I’ve not tried op as I’m not a 1Password user myself, but I’m sure you’d be able to achieve the same result?

One thing I did like about pass was that keys can be arbitrarily nested in a directory-like structure, which means you can have several keys/tokens/passwords under a given path, which can allow for storing more complex credentials than just a username and password, e.g. a database connection string made up of username, password, host, port, database and schema, all stored under e.g. aws/rds/production/ - not sure why or of that’d ever be handy, but thought it was an interesting facet of the model.
