Trying to explain to my 15 year old why 1Password is secure

Hi

Bit of topic, but I hope you'll help me ;-)

My 15 year old (who of course, as 15 year old boys do, knows everything) says he wouldn't use something like 1Password because if somebody got hold of my copy of the app they could tear it apart and, as it must know my password otherwise it wouldn't accept it, they could then gain access to everything AND because they'd then know how the app stored somebody's password they'd be able to crack all the other copies of the app.

Now, while I know a fair about computer cryptography, I don't believe I know it all. So while I'm pretty sure he's wrong..I can't explain to him why! Can you help me explain it?

Best wishes
andy
