I'm looking to download Java JDK version 8, but I want to avoid the Oracle website since it requires creating an account. Are there alternative sources or methods I can use to get it instead?

Check out the Java Almanac for more resources: https://javaalmanac.io/jdk/8/. It could provide you with some useful links and info.
You could also look into OpenJDK if you're open to alternatives. It's free and pretty solid!
You might want to check out Adoptium, which has Java 8 available for public download. It's a good alternative to Oracle: https://adoptium.net/en-GB/temurin/releases?version=8&os=any&arch=any.
If you're on Linux or macOS, consider using SDKMAN! to manage different versions of Java, Kotlin, and Gradle easily. It's pretty handy!
Unfortunately, I’m on Windows 10.
Do you have a specific download link for that?
