I read here and there that `pass` is available for CentOS 7 through the EPEL repository. In which I cannot find it :-). I see it available for C8 but not C7. Was it removed?

Packages in EPEL are made available by the volunteer who maintains it. https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID675 shows that the maintainer of pass seems to have stopped maintaining it in EL7 a long time ago and it is currently ‘orphaned’ in it.
This is probably more appropriate for one of the EPEL lists, but:
You can see in the epel7 branch for the ‘pass’ package:
The latest version of ‘pass’ uses the ‘-C’ git option which is not available in the git version available on CentOS 7.
so they removed it from epel7.
Hello Jonathan, Stephen,
Information clear enough. Now I know where I could find it, would matter next time.
Since I’m using a git version built from the sources, I’m good to install a fresh pass built from the sources as well (easy task) or use a pass package from before they abandoned it for C7.

that it refers to this BZ:

which says:
