Here's my two cents.

I was having this same problem. I initially had configured foxmarks to sync my passwords from a linux machine. The setup seemed to complete successfully, but when I would go to my.foxmarks.com and try to view my passwords from the Manage Sync Profiles screen, it said there were no passwords.

Despite that, I attempted to sync my passwords on a Windows XP machine. That's when I would get the hang on the Create PIN screen.

But, I was able to work around it by going back to my linux machine, and selecting the option to Delete Passwords from the server. After I did that, I went in to my XP machine, and configured password sync. Since it appeared as if it was a new setup, I got Screen A (from above). I successfully completed the sync and when I viewed the passwords on my.foxmarks.com, they were there. Then I went to my linux machine, configured the sync (where I got Screen B), and it completed. Now everything is working fine.

As a test, I went in, deleted all my passwords and set up sync again using my linux machine to do the initial sync. This time it worked. I have a feeling that something was tweaked on my initial sync, and that's what was causing the hang.

I hope this helps.
