2nd player player choice option?

Good evening,

I used to have evolved on an old console but we got a new one and upgraded to ascended instead. My kids and I generally play on a single world (offline split screen) and they take turns. On evolved it would ask which account was playing and each kid has there own saved character.

This doesn't seem to work on ascended though as it never asks for an account when the second player joins. Is there a way to have different characters for different people in a single player world?

Thank you for the help :)
