Are you hosted somewhere, or are you self-hosted? If you’re self hosted, you definitely have access to information about Node, and how you installed Ghost.

My suspicion is that you’ve got your browser settings or an ad-blocker/privacy tool set to reject cookies. Ghost can’t set a cookie to keep you logged in, so it repeatedly bounces you back there. Try another browser, or try temporarily disabling all extensions. Does that fix it?

Another source of debugging information would be to look at the browser’s console logging, visible by pressing F12 and then selecting the console tab. What’s it saying, particularly if you see anything red?

Disabling all extensions seemed to fix it! Thank you
