Using gopass with Emacs

Hey gang!

So I've used gopass for awhile now, and Emacs for longer.

I was wondering if any of you here interact with gopass via Emacs with auth-source or something similar.

The main reason I ask is because I'm wanting to finally use Emacs for other things, such as an IRC client and making more use of Magit, and even writing with 750words.

A lot of my passwords are stored with gopass, and the structure isn't always the same for stores. For instance:

 
        | Forums
    |-- Gentoo
    |-- Some other forum
    |
    | Email Host
    |--  email-address@somewhere.com
    |---- password
    |---- recovery codes
    |
    | Employer Name
    |-- Some program we use at work
    |---- myworkemail@work-site.com
    |
    | Some app
    |-- My User Name

Maybe this structure for a password store is a no-no, though it's not a big deal to move things around.

Any tips? I've seen auth-source-gopass, but that doesn't provide any interaction with selection of passwords or creation of passwords, I think.

I've look at that mentioned library some and writing an auth-source backend doesn't seem too involved, but maybe I don't necessarily have to with auth-source.

EDIT:

A potential configuration that others might use:

 
        (require 'consult)
    (require 'auth-source-pass)

    (use-package pass
      :requires password-store
      :preface
      (defvar consult:pass-source
        `(:name "Passwords"
          :narrow ?<                     ;; maybe you want something else for narrow?
          :face pass-mode-directory-face ;; maybe you want to use a different face?
          :category pass
          :enabled
          ,(lambda ()
             (auth-source-pass-file-name-p auth-source-pass-filename))
          :items ,#'password-store-list)
        "Consult source for passwords with (go)pass.")
    
      (defun consult:pass (arg pass)
        "Stolen from Doom Emacs.
    https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs/blob/master/modules/tools/pass/autoload/consult.el"
        (interactive
         (list current-prefix-arg
               (progn
                 (require 'consult)
                 (consult--read consult:pass-source
                                :prompt "(Go)Pass: "
                                :sort nil
                                :require-match t
                                :category 'pass))))
        (funcall (if arg
                     #'password-store-url
                   #'password-store-copy)
                 pass))
      :custom
      (password-store-executable (executable-find "gopass"))
      (auth-source-pass-filename
       (or (getenv "PASSWORD_STORE_DIR")
           (expand-file-name "~/.local/share/gopass/stores/root")))
      :config
      (auth-source-pass-enable))
