Are you required to have a 6-digit IP PIN (Identity Protection PIN) assigned by the IRS?   If so, you won't find it on a W-2.   If you're required to have one, the IRS should have either mailed you a new one last month, or you can retrieve it from your online IRS account.    Once you have it, @ DoninGA's comment in this thread lists the navigation steps to enter it.
