After creating your Theya account, you can continue to set up your vault(s). Here is the process for adding a Foundation Passport to your multisig vault.
For new devices (if you have have not generated a private key and seedphrase backup), follow the Foundation Setup Guide to set up your device before pairing with a Theya vault.
Note: With all singlesig or multisig wallet setups, it's at the user(s) discretion how to secure and store their physical hardware device(s) and recovery seed phrases.
