Thank you for the patch,

IMHO, `password-store-read-field' should _always_ read all the fields.

Users with a strong need to access often to one particular
field, are better served with a new specific command
(possibly, with a new keybinding for it).

I don't think this is the responsability of `password-store':
it should be implemented on top of it.


This is what you've proposed with `ivy-pass--username-action', and I think 
is TRTTD.
That is also the way that pass.el follows.
