Hello João,
thanks for the bug report! I wasn't able to reproduce your issue on
current master. Do you still experience the same problem?

I started emacs with the -Q option, evaluated this snippet:

(require 'auth-source)
(auth-source-pass-enable)
(setq auth-sources '(password-store))

and configured gnus-select-method. Credentials were successfully
decrypted and Gnus was able to connect without any issues. If you happen
to have the same issue, can you evaluate this snippet and confirm that
your pass entry is in the list? Thanks.

(let ((hostname "gmail")
      (user "username@gmail.com")
      (port 993))
  (auth-source-pass--generate-entry-suffixes hostname user port))
