Without going into specifics obviously, generally, how are passwords handled in your workplace?

Asking because a while back my business started handling IT for some local businesses and we noticed it was so poorly handled that some of their clients would get emails from their official gmail account asking for money to be transferred to certain accounts. They suffered other types of attacks such as phishing attempts as well and for the most part, client and suppliers would be savvy enough to call in first when they got peculiar emails.

Just wondering whether this is an unexploited business opportunity or whether someone is already handling this using software; more so for the millions of small businesses that have staff of more than 10 people and it becomes unmanageable for them.

As a developer who's been tinkering with Arduino, I've had a couple of ideas for physical products but I struggle with building a prototype i.e. an aesthetically pleasing casing branding and some hardware peripherals that would make the product come to life.

a) Which is the best way to develop a 3D design for my product after which I could possibly 3D print the product?

b) I also worry about revealing too much of the products specs before going to market. How can this be handled?

What I've considered:

1) Using a service like upwork to find a reliable freelancer (this brings me back to question 'b' above) 2) Taking a crash course on 3D modelling and doing it myself (I'm a self-taught developer and I've always thought I could learn anything but I have come to appreciate that it takes time to be good at anything)

EDIT: What is the prototype for? A pitch to investors.

a) Is it sensible to bring an entire mall's individual shops' inventory online for customers to browse easily and have items delivered to them?

b) What would be the value proposition for the mall’s owners?

c) What are some examples of malls that have all their shops plus their inventory listed online?
