Don't get in their faces

Hi.

Could you tell me what the phrase "Don't get in their faces" means?

I googled and found it in different contexts, but failed to figure out the meaning.

Hi, As you found, it depends a bit on the context. Here's the general idea. Imagine you and I are having a disagreement and I stand so that my face is very close to you.
