Will just logging into an email address, without opening any emails, trigger a malware bug?

My friends phone was hacked and she logged into her email on my laptop to change her password. Now she is concerned my laptop may be hacked too.

Simply, can just logging into an email address (@yahoo) trigger a bug or malware to be installed on the device?
