Do I need to get a new pin from the IRS every year? Can I opt out from getting a pin?

My return gets rejected every year because it wants an IRS assigned pin but software says you can choose your own. Why is this?

You can use the IRS website ID.me to request it.

This IRS issued PIN is 6 digits long.
Your signature ID (also called a self-select PIN) is a random 5-digit number you entered last year, right before you submitted your return.
