A happy accident, if you will :-)

Right.

This v2 patch restores TRAMP support.

Subject: [PATCH v2] auth-source-pass: don't rely on epa-file (bug#67937)

* lisp/auth-source-pass.el (epg): Require epg.
(auth-source-pass--read-entry): Use epg-decrypt-string and
insert-file-contents-literally instead of relying on epa-file
decrypting files read via insert-file-contents.  This avoids
interference from file-name-handler-alist, and avoids breaking
when epa-file-handler is not mong f-n-h-a.
