Open Core extension and hover over Access Existing Wallet. From there, select Recovery Phrase.
Paste or type the Recovery Phrase and click Next.

It is very important to type the Recovery Phrase carefully and in the correct order. Do NOT share your Recovery Phrase with anyone else; it will give them access to your wallet and all of the crypto assets in your wallet, allowing them to steal everything. Once crypto assets move to a wallet you do not control, they are gone forever and no one can recover them for you.
Once the wallet is created, users can access their existing funds.
