Android permissions removed in API level 23

In my project I have two permissions:

android.permission.USE_CREDENTIALS

android.permission.MANAGE_ACCOUNTS

that was removed in API Level 23 https://developer.android.com/sdk/api_diff/23/changes/android.Manifest.permission

Does that mean I can remove them if my targetSdkVersion is 23 or higher or minSdkVersion must be 23?

No you need to add android:maxSdkVersion="22" to these both permissions. Like below

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MANAGE_ACCOUNTS" android:maxSdkVersion="22" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.USE_CREDENTIALS" android:maxSdkVersion="22"/>

Everything every Android Developer must know about new Android's Runtime Permission is a very good article for more info. And found Android M Permissions: Missing some of the old ones similar to your issue.
