Generally: your password data is stored in gpg-encrypted flat files that
can be manually decrypted and opened in any editor.
If you want to import it to another password manager application, it
would either need to support importing from password-store or from a
simple text file format.
In the latter case, a simple shell script like this oneliner (I'm sure
this is possible more beautiful, this is rather crude):
find ~/.password-store -iname \*.gpg | sed 's,.*\.password-store/,,' |
sed 's,\.gpg,,' | xargs -n1 -I{} bash -c echo {}; cat
~/.password-store/{}.gpg | gpg -d; echo
could help you export your data.

Re: [pass] Exporting data from password store
It is a good idea to store the password encrypted, even when backing up.
So as the password store is only a folder with files you can use cp(1)
or rsync(1) or tar(1) to backup and restore the data (best as a whole,
then you will have no problems if you reencrypt).
If you want to reencrypt files in your password store, read the man page
about `pass init`.
If you have two folders with a old and new password store with
possiblely different gpg ids you can transvere every single password
that you want like this:
PASSWORD_STORE_DIR=~/old-store pass show old/password/name |
PASSWORD_STORE_DIR=~/new-store pass insert --multiline new/password/name
Have fun,
Lucas
