I was about to install the PC Monitor app for andriod phones and noticed that one of the access requirements is to Discover known accounts - Allows applications to get the list of accounts known by this phone.

Why would the app need to do this and what would be done with this information ?

See Step 2.3:

<!-- GCM requires a Google account. -->

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