hand in glove

[haseli22]

Dear native speakers,
The idiom "hand in glove" has a positive meaning or a negative one or both? Once teaching idioms, I came across this idiom and couldn't find a clear-cut answer for myself as to whether it is used positively or negatively or in both ways.
Thanks for your help
