Probably not the *best* way, but certainly one that works:

  find ~/.password-store/ -name '*.gpg' -exec sh -c 'printf "%s " "$1";
  gpg --quiet --batch -d "$1" | head -1' _ {} \; | sort -k2 | uniq -df1

Note that this only shows *one* of the many websites using each
password. Combine it with the below code to then search for that
password in other sites.

Alternatively, if your 'uniq' has the -D option (capital as opposed to
lowercase), use that instead of the -d option to get what you want.

In the absense of a 'pass grep' command:

find ~/.password-store/ -name '*.gpg' -exec sh -c 'gpg --quiet --batch -d "$1" |
grep -q PASSWORD && echo "$1"' _ {} \;
