I set up a MAMP server on my local machine with the address localhost:8888.

Because I installed FoundationPress and used gulp Browser Sync for live view I accidentally logged in to my WP through localhost:3000. I wonder if I should be worried about any changes in my database in case I updated something on my website.

You are fine. The WordPress server is still the same, BrowserSync just uses localhost as a proxy for the MAMP server.

The only downside to logging in to the WP Dashboard through localhost is that the dashboard will reload when changes are detected. After BrowserSync starts and opens a new tab for localhost, I always login to the dashboard in a separate tab through the original local server url (mywebsite.dev for example) so the dashboard doesn't refresh with the rest of the site.
