Before I became aware of Pass, I wrote essentially the same thing, but in Python.
Fast-forward a decade or two, and my wife uses a password manager that got deleted from the Apple AppStore, and iPhone backups just contain pointers to the app to install upon backup, not the actual binaries. So my wife had her password database, but no password app. I did a bunch of research on password database formats, and this is recognized as a pretty common vulnerability.
Pass allows you to add arbitrary metadata, so I suggest adding the domain (or better yet, the login URL) as the second line in the encrypted file. I made this automatic/mandatory in my home-spun Pass-alike.
