Adding 

<uses-permission android:name="Manifest.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS"/>

To your Manifest should solve your SecurityException.

(Beginning with Android 6.0 (API level 23), if an app shares the signature of the authenticator that manages an account, it does not need "GET_ACCOUNTS" permission to read information about that account. On Android 5.1 and lower, all apps need "GET_ACCOUNTS" permission to read information about any account.)
