Iʼve never used pass, but thatʼs not how the manual describes enabling
'pass' support. From (info "(auth) Help for users")

     -- Variable: auth-sources

         The ‘auth-sources’ variable tells the auth-source library where
         your netrc files, Secret Service API collection items, or your
         password store live for a particular host and protocol.  While you
         can get fancy, the default and simplest configuration is:

              ;;; old default: required :host and :port, not needed anymore
              (setq auth-sources '((:source "~/.authinfo.gpg" :host t :port t)))
              ;;; mostly equivalent (see below about fallbacks) but shorter:
              (setq auth-sources '((:source "~/.authinfo.gpg")))
              ;;; even shorter and the _default_:
              (setq auth-sources '("~/.authinfo.gpg" "~/.authinfo" "~/.netrc"))
              ;;; use the Secrets API LOGIN collection
              ;;; (*note Secret Service API::)
              (setq auth-sources '("secrets:Login"))
              ;;; use pass (~/.password-store)
              ;;; (*note The Unix password store::)
              (auth-source-pass-enable)            <--------------------------
              ;;; JSON data in format [{ "machine": "SERVER",
              ;;; "login": "USER", "password": "PASSWORD" }...]
              (setq auth-sources '("~/.authinfo.json.gpg"))
