The problem is that this wallet in question wasn't created with Electrum. I used [Ian Colemans BIP32 Tool](https://iancoleman.io/bip39/)

"I used Ian Colemans BIP32 Tool" still if you imported that seed (BIP39) into your Electrum you should be able to obtain it the same way.

Best to use the optional password too not just the mnemonic. Engrave each on cryptosteel, store in two separate secure locations.

Is an extraction of the mnemonic string possible if wallet and corresponding passphrase are in possesion?

My problem is that I have access to my wallet and I am able to access it with Electrum because I have the passphrase but I somehow misplaced the seed.

Is it possible to decrypt/extract and obtain the wallets mnemonic seed string with said access?

Any time donated towards this issue will be very appreciated.
