There is a pass Emacs package/interface so you don't have to use the
shell at all.  It's on MELPA.

Hello Kushal,

Yes, I am using it to manage the passwords, but the gpg agent is not
compatible and starts an ncurses frontend in the eshell prompt.

Apparently, Dominik have proposed a solution.

Have you looked at the emacs mode for pass?
https://stable.melpa.org/#/pass

Not sure what your usecase is, but I find the emacs mode suffices for
everything I need it to do.

pass does not have an ncurses frontend.

What you see is probably pinentry (from gpg).
