By using the passphrase, do you mean the mnemonic, or the UTC/keystore file that is encrypted with a passphrase? – Henk Jul 2 '18 at 11:10

Importing a mnemonic can only be done when you are not logged in. It's best to backup any existing accounts in the current MetaMask instance before importing a mnemonic.
When logged out, you can click Restore from seed phrase, right under the Login button. There, enter your seed phrase and set a password.
