Google is recalling its Bluetooth Titan security keys due to a vulnerability that could allow attackers to connect to your device.

Designed to replace text messages or external authenticator apps when using two-factor authentication, just insert the key into your PC and bingo, you've got access. Interestingly, though, the company claims its incredibly small size makes it well-suited to simply being left in your laptop, which kind of defies its security and protection purpose.
