Out of the box, Does EE2 have the ability to confirm an email address (for typos) the same way a password is confirmed?

Hi, BCPower - no, it does not. You would need to use jQuery and create a second form to do that sort of confirmation. Did you want me to move this to Community Help to explore it further?

I’ve been having the same problem using EE on my site, Safe Patient Handling. I was wondering if any progress has been made or at least where this topic was moved to so I can try to figure this out..

With front-end member registration enabled (and using EE 2.2.2), if you head to yoursite.com/member/register you’ll see a field for Confirm Email.
So it seems that email confirmation functionality exists, but perhaps only on the member/register form. (Note: The field does not show up in the CP > ‘Members’ > ‘Register Member’ form.)
Question though:
If I’m coding out a template that will be used for member registration, is this Confirm Email field required, just as it is on the member/register form, or I can omit this field when I code the form?

my suggestion is not to shy away from jquery - if you just jump in and get used to just running everything through jquery on its way up… you will be happy you did - it solves so many of the little annoyances that javascript form validation used to present
