Select the ‘Mnemonic’ tab and paste your Seed phrase to the box shown.

Scroll down the ‘Derivation’ section and change to the second option, then click ‘Import account’.

Select the ‘Collectibles’ tab to see the NFT assets, you will have to send some Tezos to the address to gas the transactions to transfer them away.
