Multiple Storyboards - Multiple Navigation Controllers

I am breaking up my project into multiple storyboards. I have a login storyboard with a navigation controller. The last step "Complete Registration" takes you to main.storyboard.

This leaves the navigation controller in place, and the back button takes you back to register. I obviously don't want that. I know I can hide the bar by using:

self.navigationController?.navigationBarHidden = true

But how can I leave the navigation controller?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The easiest and most correct way to do this would be to make your login screen a modal view. If you don't want to give your user the ability to go back, then you shouldn't use a push segue. You should use a modal view.

In the iOS Human Interface guidelines it says that modal views should be used for "a self-contained task [that] must be completed—or explicitly abandoned—to avoid leaving the user’s data in an ambiguous state."

A modal view will make it so your login and your main screen have to be in separate Navigation Controllers.

In the completion handler of the "Complete Registration" action you'll want to use the following code.

        let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
        let viewController = storyboard.instantiateInitialViewController() as! (TypeOfViewController)
        self.presentViewController(viewController, animated: true, completion: nil)

If your main.storyboard is already embedded in a NavigationController (Initial view controller is a UINavigationController) then you'll have to do that a little bit differently.

        let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
        let viewController = storyboard.instantiateInitialViewController()
        self.presentViewController(viewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
