Whether they send it to you or you thru id.me, they give you a 6-digit number and the TurboTax app only allows a 5 digit number. Why not just update the app to allow for 6 digits?

The 5 digit e-file PIN is self-selected by the taxpayer and is entered in the program at the when they are in the File section.

The 6-digit Identity Protection PIN is sent to the taxpayer by the IRS and must be entered exactly as received. It can be entered into the program at any time
