 * I am always getting back to the same page. It just keeps looping regardless what
   I do.
 * Pages;
 * 1. The Site Kit plugin is active but requires setup
    2. Welcome to Site Kit! 
   Let’s get you set up. 3. Choose an account 4. Site Kit wants to access your Google
   Account 5. … back on page 1
 * I have disabled all plugins to make sure there is no conflict (Breeze etc…). 
   I have opened incognito and tried again.

 * Thanks for the updates everyone! It is [a known issue](https://sitekit.withgoogle.com/documentation/fix-common-issues/)
   that ModSecurity rules can block the setup process. Temporarily disabling ModSecurity
   is an option. After the setup process, you can re-enable your settings. You can
   also confer with your host on the best practice on their platform.

 * [@stijnl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stijnl/) Have you been able to 
   setup Site Kit after temporarily disabling ModSecurity during setup?
 * [@thehowarde](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thehowarde/) Thanks for the
   input, very useful indeed. Users on shared hosting can also try the following,
   added to their .htaccess file, although some web hosts may restrict this. It 
   may work for some, and it can be removed after Site Kit setup:
 *     ```
       <IfModule mod_security.c>
         SecFilterEngine Off
         SecFilterScanPOST Off
       </IfModule>
       ```
   
 * There is an open GitHub issue you can keep track of for ModSecurity incompatibilities
   during Site Kit setup.

   support topic issue.
